MTN Uganda staff release 'Sunny Days' song

In a bid to use music as a catalyst for positive energy at the workplace, MTN Uganda has released “Sunny Days”, a lively tune created by MTN Uganda employees under the MTN Got Talent program.

The company said in a press release that the vibrant and spirited anthem reflects the core values that drive MTN's work culture namely; integrity, agility, care, service, respect, collaboration and inclusion, all wrapped in the fun, uplifting melodies that make work as well as everyday tasks and hustles a joyful experience.

MTN Uganda's Chief Executive Officer Sylvia Mulinge said the ‘MTN Sunny Days’ song is not just about having fun—it’s about embracing the values that define MTN as a workplace.

  • “It embodies the idea that a motivated, valued, and joyful team will always achieve great things. MTN fosters a work culture where creativity is encouraged, and where people feel empowered to bring their best selves to work every day. A happy workplace leads to success, and we believe that spreading this energy through music can inspire not only our employees but also the community we serve,” Mulinge said.

The ‘MTN Sunny Days’ song highlights how fun and positivity are embedded in MTN Uganda's DNA. Whether it's serving customers, innovating new solutions, or just being there for each other as a team, the song reminds MTNers that joy is at the heart of everything they do.

With lyrics that celebrate togetherness, authenticity, and positivity, the “MTN Sunny Days” anthem aims to inspire more than just MTN employees—it is a song for anyone who believes in the power of joy, teamwork, and staying true to your values to achieve success.

  • Human resources experts say music has the power to uplift moods, reduce stress, and create a more positive atmosphere in the workplace. This can lead to increased job satisfaction and overall well-being.

Music can help alleviate stress and anxiety, which are common workplace stressors. This can improve mental health and overall job satisfaction.

Additionally, shared musical experiences can foster a sense of camaraderie and teamwork among employees, strengthening workplace relationships and increasing job satisfaction.

Starbucks, a global coffee conglomerate with over 35,000 stores worldwide, is known for its unique approach to music and culture, often incorporating music into their events and marketing strategies to create a memorable experience.

MTN Uganda currently employs more than 1,000 employees both directly and indirectly and has built a reputation as one of the most-preferred employers in the country because of its organizational culture and favourable working conditions.

  • The ‘Sunny Days’ song, whose video was shot at the MTN head offices in Kampala, perfectly encapsulates how MTN’s workplace values create an environment where teamwork, fun, and a positive outlook come together to lead to inevitable success.
  • The lyrics reflect the spirit of connection, kindness, collaboration, and empowerment that 'MTNers' live by every day.

MTN has a presence in all districts in Uganda and works through a network of over 206,000 MoMo agents, 316,000 MoMo merchants, 200 service stores and 13 main distributors.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2024, MTN Uganda had 21.6 million subscribers, 13.2 million MoMo users, and 9.3 million active data users.
