The Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN) has launched an acculturation programme to inculcate in its staff values and norms with a view to instituting a positive work culture.
Speaking during the unveiling of the initiative in Lagos recently, the managing director of FAAN, Mrs Olubunmi Kuku said the programme is significant in cultivating a work environment where excellence, efficiency, and integrity are paramount.
Kuku stated that the programme is a commitment to continuous improvement and urged every employee to fully engage with the training sessions and materials.
“Change is never easy, but it is necessary for growth and progress,” she said.
Spokesperson for the agency, Mrs Obiageli Orah, said in a statement that the “acculturation programme reflects the forward-thinking approach…in transforming organisational culture.”
“By equipping the workforce with the essential values, skills, and mindset, the programme aims to elevate the aviation sector to new heights and inspire similar transformative efforts in other agencies under the ministry of aviation and aerospace development.
“With this programme, FAAN aims to exceed stakeholder and passenger expectations, positioning itself as a leader in the global aviation community,” she added.
The initiative, which is driven by the director of special duties, Mr Henry Agbebire, includes comprehensive culture change training for all staff, guided by the new handbook, ‘Flight to Excellence.’
Meanwhile, she said FAAN had introduced ‘Skyward Shift’, a monthly bulletin to keep staff informed and motivated.
She also announced the chief executive’s ‘Monthly Prize and Award for Excellence and Productivity’ to recognise outstanding performance.
