Vivo Energy Ghana, the company that distributes and markets Shell-branded fuels and lubricants in Ghana, has commissioned its Nursing facility, a dedicated space in its Accra head office designed to support expectant and nursing mothers within the organisation.
The facility, named Obaatanpa (meaning a caring mother in Akan language) forms part of Vivo Energy Ghana’s ShePower project, a flagship programme under the company’s female diversity and inclusion agenda aimed at empowering women both within the workplace and in society.
The Obaatanpa Nursing Facility has been equipped with state-of-the-art amenities to provide comfort and convenience to nursing mothers, allowing them to balance their professional responsibilities and maternal duties effectively.
Features of the facility include a comfortable seating for lactation, refrigeration for breast milk storage, baby cots, playing toys for toddlers and a clean and serene relaxation area for nursing mothers.
Speaking at the commissioning ceremony, Mr. Jean-Michel Arlandis, Managing Director of Vivo Energy Ghana said, "At Vivo Energy Ghana, we are committed to creating a workplace where all employees, especially women, feel valued and supported. The Obaatanpa Nursing Facility exemplifies our dedication to ensuring that our female employees have access to the resources they need to thrive both professionally and personally. This initiative not only aligns with our ShePower project but also reflects our belief in fostering a supportive and inclusive work environment."
Some nursing and expectant mothers within the company expressed their excitement and commended the company for such a timely investment which will help alleviate their anxieties worries associated with motherhood whilst ensuring work-life balance.
The facility which addresses a critical need of working mothers is a testament to Vivo Energy Ghana’s broader commitment to advancing the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG), particularly SDG 5 (Gender Equality) and SDG 3 (Good Health and Well-being).
