How our relentless investment in talent development makes Polo Luxury a great place to work
In Nigeria's corporate landscape, where attracting and retaining high-quality talents is a major challenge owing to several factors including increased trend of 'Japa', (the mass migration of skilled professionals leaving Nigeria for better opportunities abroad) that has further worsened talent retention and created a fiercely competitive talent market, Polo Luxury Group continues to stand out, not just as a leading voice for true luxury but as an employer of choice in Nigeria as attested by the Great Place to Work Certification. This recognition earned by Polo Luxury Group for the second consecutive year goes beyond mere accolades, but is a reflection of its watchword: excellence begins from within. At Polo, employees are not just team members; they are the brand's foremost ambassadors and driving force behind our success. By empowering our employees and leveraging their voices as the foremost brand ambassadors, we are more trusted as a brand with over 35 years of experience delivering exceptional service to our discerning clientele and advancing humanity. For organisations, the focus is no longer just about recruitment; it is about placing a premium on employees' well-being, fostering inclusive workplace cultures, building a sustainable reward system, and offering tangible growth opportunities that can rival global options to encourage long-term employee loyalty. But what truly sets Polo apart isn't just its unrivalled portfolio; it's the people behind the brand. At every touchpoint, from boutique floors to boardroom strategy sessions, Polo's culture of excellence is driven by passionate individuals committed to the highest standards of service and integrity. At Polo, career development is not a catchphrase; it is a clearly defined path. The organisation has embedded growth into its very blueprint, providing employees with access to all-expense-paid training, structured mentorships, and targeted upskilling programmes that ensure they remain aligned with the fast-evolving global luxury landscape. From sales associates to senior managers, every team member is equipped with the tools not just to perform but to excel, as they are empowered through initiatives like the Polo Academy, where the company invests heavily in shaping new employees into confident, brand-aligned professionals. Through immersive training modules, mentorship opportunities, and continuous learning programmes, Polo ensures that each individual embodies the sophistication, knowledge, and service excellence that define the brand. This deliberate focus on internal capacity-building not only enhances individual growth but also reinforces Polo's reputation as the benchmark for luxury experience in West Africa. This commitment to excellence is matched by Polo's approach to employee compensation. With an awareness of the shifting economic realities of modern life, the company offers a robust, industry-leading remuneration structure. Salaries are regularly benchmarked and reviewed in response to inflation and market trends. Employees also benefit from performance-based rewards, 13th-month bonuses, healthcare packages, and access to the company's services such as staff buses and subsidised luxury products, all of which are tangible demonstrations of Polo's dedication to staff welfare. Beyond compensation, the essence of Polo's workplace culture is rooted in respect, inclusion, and collaboration. Whether in the boutiques, at headquarters, or within leadership ranks, teamwork is not just encouraged, it is deeply ingrained. Every voice is heard and valued, and the intentional inclusivity within the organisation seamlessly translates into the elevated experiences clients encounter across touchpoints. More than just a place of employment, Polo is a genuine support system for its people. Employees enjoy balanced working hours, access to comprehensive healthcare, extending to family members, and a welfare structure designed to promote mental, emotional, and physical well-being. This culture of care reflects the brand's understanding that luxury must begin from within. Polo's leadership is a distinguishing force behind its sustained success. Forward-thinking yet deeply empathetic, the executive team leads with clarity, conviction, and compassion. Known for its transparency and open-door policy, management consistently demonstrates the courage to act on feedback, driving a culture of trust, innovation, and accountability across all departments. Recognition, at Polo, is not episodic; it is embedded in the company's daily rhythm. From routine performance appraisals and festive gift packages to internal shout-outs and monthly team celebrations, employees are consistently reminded that their contributions matter. This culture of appreciation fuels performance and fosters a shared commitment to excellence. These values and practices are not just aspirational—they are validated. Polo's Great Place to Work®️ certification is built on over three decades of global benchmarking and research. The results are compelling: 98% of employees express confidence in management's ability to lead effectively; 94% affirm fair treatment of individuals regardless of race; and 96% rate the company's customer service as exceptional. These numbers are more than statistics—they are proof that Polo's people-first philosophy is working, and that the brand's internal culture is as refined, resilient, and remarkable as the world-class luxury it represents. As we push new boundaries and set fresh standards, Polo Luxury is poised to become what we envision: the Burj Khalifa of African luxury—a towering, unmissable symbol of sophistication, ambition, and excellence. And at the heart of it all? Our people are the bedrock of our promise and the architects of our future.

Lone Wolf Technologies Earns Great Place to Work Certification, Reinforcing Commitment to Excellence in Real Estate Technology
Employee satisfaction is 25% above the industry average, strengthening the foundation for superior customer service and long-term partnership stability DALLAS, June 6, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Lone Wolf Technologies ("Lone Wolf"), the leader in residential real estate software, and the longest-standing technology company in the real estate industry, today announced it has earned Great Place to Work Certification, with 71% of employees affirming it's a great place to work compared to 57% of employees at a typical U.S.-based company. The certification, based on anonymous employee feedback measuring trust, respect, credibility, fairness, pride, and camaraderie, underscores the company culture that drives Lone Wolf's renowned customer service and product innovation across its Foundation platform, serving over 1.5 million real estate professionals. "Great workplace culture isn't just about employee satisfaction—it directly translates to better customer experiences," said Jimmy Kelly, chief executive officer at Lone Wolf Technologies. "When our team members are engaged and empowered, that energy flows through every customer interaction, every product enhancement, and every support call our real estate partners make." Culture as Competitive Advantage In an industry where technology vendors frequently change ownership, pivot strategies, or disappear entirely, Lone Wolf's strong workplace culture reinforces the stability that real estate professionals rely on for long-term partnerships. The certification validates the company's approach to attracting and retaining top talent in a competitive market. The Great Place to Work assessment evaluated Lone Wolf across five key dimensions: leadership credibility, respect for employees, workplace fairness, employee pride in the company, and sense of belonging. High scores across these areas indicate a stable, engaged workforce that directly benefits customer relationships. Talent Retention Drives Customer Success With employee turnover costs in technology rising, companies with strong workplace cultures demonstrate superior financial stability and operational consistency. Great Place to Work Certified companies show 51% higher retention rates than typical U.S. workplaces. For real estate professionals evaluating technology partners, vendor stability has become increasingly important. Companies with engaged, long-tenured employees are better positioned to provide consistent support, maintain product roadmaps, and honor long-term commitments. "Vendor stability is a big deal. We've used platforms that were great at first and then suddenly changed their pricing or support, or vanished altogether," said Ashley B. Harris. "Knowing Lone Wolf has been around for 36 years builds trust. In a world full of new, flashy tools, longevity matters. It tells me a company has adapted over time and is likely to keep evolving alongside us." Foundation Built on People The certification comes as Lone Wolf continues expanding Foundation, the real estate cloud, capabilities while maintaining the white-glove support standards that have defined the company for over three decades. The integrated suite includes transaction management, CRM, digital marketing, compliance tools, and back-office solutions designed to streamline real estate operations. Lone Wolf's hundreds of U.S.-based employees support real estate professionals across Canada, the U.S., and Latin America, with the company's culture of excellence evident in customer satisfaction scores and industry longevity. Industry Leadership Through People The Great Place to Work Certification adds to Lone Wolf's reputation as an industry leader that real estate professionals can count on for the long term. Recent partnerships, including the landmark five-year agreement with the First Multiple Listing Service, which serves 60,000 members, demonstrate the confidence the industry places in companies with strong operational foundations. Unlike venture-funded startups that may prioritize rapid scaling over sustainable culture, Lone Wolf's balanced approach to growth ensures both innovation and stability for its real estate partners. About Lone Wolf Technologies Lone Wolf Technologies, Inc. is the North American leader in residential real estate software, serving over 1.5 million real estate professionals across Canada, the U.S., and Latin America. With 36 years of industry experience, Lone Wolf provides cloud solutions for agents, teams, brokers, franchises, MLSs, and associations.
