O&L rewards employees with Mauritius holidays

ELEVEN valued employees of the Ohlthaver & List Group of Companies (O&L) reaped the rewards of their hard work at a glitzy awards ceremony this weekend as each went home with an all-expenses paid trip to Mauritius.

President of the National Union of Namibian Workers (NUNW), Alpheus Muheua was keynote speaker at the event and commended O&L for setting a fine example ‘on good people management skills’. He also said that, while the NUNW appreciated O&L’s contribution to employment creation, there was still a lot to be done to improve the standard of living of workers. ‘Creating jobs is one thing, but paying people decent wages is another.’Muheua had only good things to say about O&L’s plans for the future, which include investigations into providing permanent housing and a minimum wage for all employees. ‘This is truly a sign of visionary thinking and leadership on your side,’ he praised.Corporate giant O&L, with subsidiaries in seven industry-related divisions, annually recognises employees for their contributions to the group over the past year. This is the sixth Value Star Awards Ceremony that has been held.ndapwa@namibian.com.na
