A message from Dudu Nyamane, Director Human Rescources

Old Mutual (SA) takes great pride in the sheer quality of its human capital. For more than 160 years, it is our people who have kept the banner of human dignity flying high through superior service to our customers, shareholders and the widercommunities within South Africa. But what attracts this calibre of employee; what differentiates Old Mutual (SA) as an employer? I would credit our holistic approach to life, rooted in a shared value system that influences our corporate culture, attitudes and thinking. When undertaking tasks or making decisions, the following four values steer our course: integrity, respect, accountability and a commitment to pushing beyond boundaries.

The company’s commitment to its people goes beyond just providing training and recognition; employees are actively encouraged to adopt a healthy and balanced lifestyle, and to take charge of their own destinies and realise their dreams. Our emphasis on teamwork, and on providing a happy, challenging and rewarding workplace that is free of discrimination, allows us to maintain and grow this exceptional human capital base.

This is supported by the positive employee feedback we receive from well-being measurement structures. The company’s results are improving year on year, despite key restructuring initiatives we undertake from time to time to adapt to our customer needs and remain competitive within the marketplace.
