Why Alter Ego and Safaricom Staff?

An Alter Ego, the other ‘I’, is a second personality within a person,
who is often oblivious to the persona’s actions. A person with an alter ego is said to lead a double life. Alter egos can be applied to the role
or persona taken on by an actor or a performer. It can also refer to different behaviours any person may display in various situations. Super heroes like Avatar, Superman and James Bond are what some individuals fantasize about.

Alter Egos are not always about portraying a positive image. Some are about breaking the rules and venturing onto the dark side yet others are about exploring one’s wild side, if they have one. We all have some form of alter ego, someone we imagine to be, outside our usual characters. We dream of an alter ego that will give us an avenue of escape, a persona that will give a sense of becoming or even a sense of sameness.

In order to celebrate our individual uniqueness and togetherness as we embark on the 2.0 journey to get to know each other as people and not just Safaricom Staff, the Alter Ego Exhibition was conceptualised. This provided a platform for participants to showcase their other side and for the audience to see beyond the normal work etiquette of their peers. This interest in anything else beyond work has led staff to instill the same passion into their daily routine at Safaricom and be part of making it the best company in Africa.

A decade separates our youngest and oldest employee reinforcing the diversity showcased here and the ability to exchange ideas and grow yet maintaining our individuality. We do however have varied passions and interests away from work that motivate us, help us unwind, recharge our creative batteries and come back in to work ready to give it our best shot. These passions come through our “other side”, the side that might not come through when we are sitting at our desks, but is illuminated when our ‘hair is down’.

At Safaricom, we are fortunate enough to explore and exercise those passions within the company through our membership clubs which are made up of diverse ranges that not only enhance our musical skills, but burn our brains and awaken our muscles. These include the Safaricom Choir, Chess, Endurance and Pool Clubs.

The Safaricom Alter Ego Exhibition thus is about getting to know each other as personalities that are not only dictated by work but personalities that imbue passion and zest for activity beyond the norm. This not only brings out the best in us, but allows us to be the best we can be and ultimately achieve our corporate mission of being the best company in Africa.
