MDDA

RECOGNISED

AT THE IPM

EXCELLENCE

AWARDS

The Media Development & Diversity Agency
(MDDA) was recently recognised at the Institute
of People Management (IPM) 2023 Excellence
Awards. During the prestigious Awards
ceremony, held on the last night of the IPM
2023 Convention, the MDDA walked away
with the top recognition award in the
category for Best Employee Wellness and
Employee Engagement Programme.

The ceremony is an evening of anticipation,
recognition, and celebration, showcasing the best
in HR excellence. The Awards spotlight the
remarkable individuals, teams, and initiatives that
have left an indelible mark on the workforce,
workplace environment, and overall corporate
success. During this year’s awards, the MDDA
was shortlisted for a number of categories,
and managed to walk away with the coveted
prize for Best Employee Wellness and
Employee Engagement Programme Award.

Having emerged from the unprecedented
Covid-19 pandemic, most organisations
have grappled with employee health,
wellness and engagement challenges. To
address these, in 2022 the MDDA
implemented interventions to help the
organisation and to elevate the
employee health and wellness issues
through #MyWellbeing initiative as well as
the #StaffConnect to improve staff
engagement on overall issues across the Agency.
These initiatives were geared towards promoting work life
balance, managing and implementing the Hybrid Policy
and ensuring that staff feel engaged and a part of the
journey of continued growth and brand image of
the Agency.
