CHF/Iraq ACSI• In July 2003, CHF piloted the first microfinance program in Iraq
Access to Credit Services Initiative (ACSI) to address the demand for credit from micro and small businesses and home owners. Since that time it has grown into the largest MFI in the country, representing 51% of the market, covering over more than 65% of Iraq’s geographical area.

ACSI’s Experience• Capable, committed employees are the driving force of any
company, and ACSI considers its staff to be its most valuable asset
• In 2003, the concept of microfinance was new in Iraq, and recruiting an effective team was a challenge.
• However, ACSI staff has since increased from the original group of 17 to 362 current employees.
• ACSI was able to overcome the challenge by creating a documented, systematic process for identifying, hiring, training and retaining committed staff members.

Keys to Employee Motivation
• Employee Development
Staff development should include periodic training and regular employee performance appraisals. Appraisal results should be tied to increases in responsibility and compensation.
• Employee Incentive Program
Incentive programs can be extremely valuable tools for encouraging staff behaviors that benefit the institution. ACSI carefully considers the implications of any behavior encouraged by incentive schemes. For example, encouraging higher loan volume could adversely affect service quality.
• Employee Recognition and Reward Program
Exceptional work warrants special recognition. Recognition of employees who exceed expectations will boost morale and encourage hard work. Remember, high morale leads to high productivity.
