Vanguard staff in mass birthday bash

VANGUARD Assurance Company has recognised the hard work and dedication of some staff members whose birthdays fell between April and June this and awarded them for their relentless efforts.
The celebration also formed part of Ghana’s 49th Republican Day anniversary celebration.
The ceremony was organised for the second quarter celebrants of the company numbering about 15.
As part of the celebration, there were recreational activities such as oware, football games and a health walk.
The Acting Chief Executive (CEO) of the Company, Mr Gideon Amenyedor, said the insurance industry had over the years helped people to secure several insurance benefits in respect of their cars, homes and other properties.
He said Vanguard in 2008 paid insurance claims of GH¢ 6.5 million to its customers in the country.
Mr Amenyedor, however, indicated that it was through the selfless efforts and dedication of the staff that the company had come this far, and needed to celebrate and rejuvenate their dedication.
“Let us learn to celebrate our good name as we celebrate the Republic Day,” he said.
He urged other workers of Vanguard to emulate the examples of their colleagues.
Mr Amenyedor said the company was committed to motivating staff members to give off their best.
“We are committed to making them very happy and this is an example of our commitment,” he added.
He said Vanguard Assurance had provided prompt claims payment, competitive pricing and quality customer services to its clients since its inception.
“This is because, we believe our customers deserve the best and are, therefore, always right in choosing to do business with Vanguard Assurance. Vanguard is now the first in foreign travel insurance market, first in taxi market and first in energy market,” he explained.
Mr Amenyedor said the celebration was to send the message to fellow Ghanaians that they should learn to celebrate happy occasions and also mourn unhappy times.
He said as a country, the celebration of birthdays was not encouraged especially at corporate levels while most corporate bodies assisted staff in mourning the dead.
He expressed optimism that the mass birthday celebrations would continue for the rest of the year for other staff members.
