FirstBank holds staff engagement Saturday
FirstBank Ghana will host its flagship annual staff engagement on Saturday.
This signature event, known as the MD’s Roadshow, now in its sixth year, brings together staff from all branches and departments under one roof to reflect, reconnect, and re-energise as the bank strengthens its drive to remain focused on its strategy and customer-centred activities.
What began in 2019 as a platform for direct engagement between leadership and staff has now evolved into a defining event on FirstBank’s calendar, one that blends strategy, team bonding and recognition to shape a high-performance culture.
The event is not only about closing gaps, it is also about offering clarity and repositioning mindsets to align efforts and aspirations with the bank’s long-term vision and strategic imperatives.
The ReCulture agenda, a transformational reset across the FirstBank Group, aims to revisit, realign and rebuild the way FirstBank staff collaborate and anchor the 2025 Roadshow.
ReCulture champions inclusivity, accountability and collective ownership, while emphasising that culture itself can be a competitive advantage.
It is about living the bank’s values daily, shaping behaviours that reflect integrity, innovation, and service excellence, and building an environment where every employee can thrive and contribute to shared goals.
Personalities
Over the years, the MD’s Roadshow has welcomed outstanding individuals whose life journeys and achievements echo the themes and vision FirstBank seeks to align its people behaviour with.
They include playwright, James Ebo Whyte (Uncle Ebo Whyte), boxing legend, Professor Azumah Nelson, social entrepreneur Shecanic, Nana Afua Serwaa Adusei, and global music icon, Sarkodie.
This year, the spotlight falls on Naa Shika Adu, an ex-tennis professional and President of the Africa Tennis Connect Foundation.
Naa Shika’s inspiring journey from excelling as a sports woman at the University of Ghana through representing Ghana as a national athlete to championing opportunities for girls and underrepresented youth on the platform provided by sport demonstrates resilience, adaptability, and leadership.
Naa Shika’s story of discipline, sacrifice, and transformation is expected to set the tone for FirstBank staff as they embark on their journey of ReCulture.
The 2025 edition of the MD’s Roadshow is also expected to offer ‘edutainment’ where staff will take part in team engagement sessions with case studies against the backdrop of musical performance and sharing of success stories.
More importantly, the event creates the platform for open dialogue between management and staff, reaffirming shared values and strengthening commitment to the bank’s vision of being one of Africa’s most respected financial brands.
Renewal
Speaking ahead of the event, the Managing Director and Chief Executive of FirstBank Ghana, Victor Yaw Asante, emphasised the importance of the roadshow, saying, “The special staff engagement is always a moment of renewal for us at FirstBank.”
He said it was time to come together as one family, reflect on progress, and refocus energies to meet and exceed the targets set for the year and beyond.
“Through ReCulture, we are reshaping the way we work together, living our values, embracing inclusivity, and taking collective responsibility for our success,” Mr Asante added.
He said the 2025 roadshow was for stock taking and building alignment and momentum to ensure that “We deliver on our promise to stakeholders, while making FirstBank a place where everyone can thrive.”
