firstrand philosophy
FirstRand Namibia, as a subsidiary of FirstRand Limited , subscribes to the FirstRand philosophy , which guides how the group’s people need to behave to deliver the best results for customers, society, shareholders and each other. The FirstRand philosophy is currently captured in a set of promises, outlined below.
firstrand’s promises
Take initiative and be a leader in your own right. Put your time, passion and energy into serving our customers’ needs, knowing that you are empowered, entrusted and accountable.
Continue to build an environment that values differences, an environment where everyone’s views and contributions can be heard and seen. Stay focused on the talent and ability of those around you, and not only their similarity to you. Be inclusive, gracious, decent and humble. Listen, reflect and only then respond
Work together and build trust into all your relationships. We are team players who act for the long-term interests of the group, not self-interest or the short term. Everyone is encouraged to contribute outside their area of expertise, so we can unlock our collective wisdom and achieve the very best results.
We’ve built a culture of bravery by speaking our minds and encouraging others to do the same. We enable bravery with a tolerance for failure, resilience, the courage to speak up and express and share opinions, and a spirit that is adventurous and ambitious.
Fight for ethical conduct and transparency, both inside and outside FirstRand. Champion honourable behaviour and excellent service and treat your customers, colleagues and partners fairly, to build value for our communities and shareholders.
Believe in insight, creativity and its power to unlock value. Encourage curiosity, avoid intellectual laziness and make an effort to question the status quo, even when it is uncomfortable.
