UBA Academy
We understand that the only way to get the best results and continually stay ahead of the curve is to continually sharpen our most important asset – our people.

Performance Management
UBA runs a robust goal-driven Performance Management System which measures each employee’s performance against care-fully defined targets, their level of team-work and the organization’s performance. We strive to ensure that every employee understands how he contributes to the organization’s bottom-line. Asides measuring performance, our performance management system seeks to reward Role Model performance accordingly while at the same time, helping least performing Staff to get better on the job.
