UAP Old Mutual Group has been named the leading Top Employer in Financial Services and Insurance sector in Africa by Top Employers Institute.

Old Mutual Emerging Markets (OMEM) Human Resources Director Anisha Archary says she is delighted that Old Mutual continues to strengthen its reputation as a leading business on the African continent.

“As we prepare and ready our business for independence under the managed separation strategy announced by Old Mutual plc, we have the opportunity to develop long-term sustainable competitive advantage and outperform our peers. Being a consistent Top Employer places us in a very strong position to seize this challenge and achieve our aspiration of being Africa’s financial services champion.”

According to Archary, ‘Enabling positive futures’ is Old Mutual’s core purpose and promise to its customers, employees and the communities it serves. “This sense of purpose and our values-based and customer-centric culture are key elements of inspiring trust in our business. As a custodian of our customers’ savings and investments, we need to earn and maintain their trust, and safeguard our strong reputation as a trusted financial services provider. It also supports our responsible business strategy and reflects our commitment to being a good corporate citizen.”

Old Mutual was awarded the 2016 Most Empowered Employment Equity Company Award at an annual event that celebrates the JSE’s 100 most empowered companies.

UAP Old Mutual Group, which also includes Faulu Bank, has joined other Old Mutual subsidiaries in Swaziland, Namibia, Botswana, Zimbabwe, Malawi, Ghana, Nigeria, Rwanda, South Sudan, Tanzania and Uganda in being recognized by the Top Employers Institute.
