Recognising employees

Bank Windhoek recently took time to recognise individuals and branches that did well during the course of the year.

The annual Capricorn Group Awards were aimed at recognising the achievements of employees in the group. Recipients of the awards were invited to a glittering event which was held in Windhoek earlier this month.

Bank Windhoek’s retail branch awards consisted of six categories where branches from around the country were recognised for their achievements during the previous financial year. Employees were excited about the event and they were all dressed and ready for the occasion.

The Best Branch on New Current account growth award was scooped up by Bank Windhoek’s Katutura Branch, while Mariental and Oranjemund Branch walked away with the Best Branch in Funding Growth and Best Branch in Net Profit Growth respectively.

The Best Performing Specialist Finance Branch Award went to Bank Windhoek’s Microfinance Branch. The Retail Banking Services North team were awarded as the Best Performing Region. Bank Windhoek Aranos won the coveted Retail Branch of the Year Award.

The company’s managing director awards were also handed over during the event. Individuals and the best shared department was honoured with the awards. Yvonne Maischatz from Capricorn Wealth received the Service Excellence Award while Gloria Kapingana, from Corporate and Institutional Banking won the Bank Windhoek MD Award for Sales Excellence.

The Bank Windhoek Deal of the Year Award was shared between the Bank’s Corporate and Institutional Banking, Collateral and Compliance and Treasury departments.

“I am exceptionally pleased with the performance of Bank Windhoek citizens. To win in the marketplace you must first win in the workplace and therefore an Awards evening such as this, to give reward and recognition to those who excelled, is an important part of our organizational culture. We are proud to be the flagship brand of Capricorn Group and to recognize the success and achievements of our employees as part of the Annual Capricorn Group awards,” said Bank Windhoek’s managing director, Baronice Hans.

Bank Windhoek’s Chief Financial Officer, James Chapman, received the Capricorn Group MD Award for Leadership while the Strategy and Customer department received the award for the best group function.
