SB Telecoms Honours Punctual Employees with TAMS Ambassadors Award

In a bid to promote punctuality and efficiency in the workplace, SB Telecoms and Devices has said it will honour the most punctual employees in Nigeria with the Time and Access Management Systems (TAMS) Ambassadors Award at the TAMS Summit recently.

The Summit, which is a high-level time management event, will take place at the MUSON Centre, Onikan, Lagos during which over 15 employees from public and private sectors of the economy would be honoured for punctuality at their respective workplaces over the last one year.

Speaking on the awards, Mr. Afolabi Abiodun, chief executive officer, SB Telecoms & Devices,  said the awards was organized as part of the Summit to recognize employees of organizations who understand the importance of punctuality in the workplace as well as its overall contribution to the organisation’s effectiveness.

“The soul of any business in this world is punctuality. For any business to be effective, it must be able to strictly follow a timeline to achieve its desired result and for such organisation to achieve that, employees must be able to effectively conclude their tasks before deadlines to be successful,” Abiodun said.

He added that “The TAMS Ambassadors award, therefore, honours employees who are always punctual at their workplace and diligently work on the tasks assigned to them. These set of people need to be encouraged and shown as an example to other employees in organisations across the country because in this era where people arrive their workplace ridiculously late, rendering all sorts of excuses, these few people, through our TAMS Application Portal, will be rewarded for always being punctual and diligent at their workplace during the course of the past one year.”

The TAMS Ambassadors award is an initiative of TAMS NIGERIA created to eradicate “African Time Syndrome” and appreciate timeliness in organizations across Nigeria. It is a worthwhile idea that kicked started in 2014 and has so far rewarded over a 100 of the most punctual staff within private and public sectors across Nigeria.

TAMS Ambassadors are selected from the TAMS Application Portal, a domestic application developed by SB Telecoms & Devices for organizations to seamlessly monitor and manage the attendance of members of staff and, in essence, curb time theft, lateness and absenteeism within the system.
