FSDH -

It is our belief that employees are the only truly inimitable resource that financial institutions in our business can possess. Whilst our products and services can be emulated, the FSDH person – unique and inimitable – cannot. It is our belief that our members of staff are part of the total product/service we deliver and are our major differentiating factor for the services that we render.

To this extent, FSDH has developed its innate culture and all members of staff are encouraged to conduct themselves in accordance with the main principles of excellent customer service, image building, collaboration, learning and high performance – principles on which the FSDH culture was developed.

Our culture clearly articulates the qualities, values and attributes that the FSDH person should have and we are committed to it. This culture is continuously reinforced by our culture wheel, which is displayed pictorially on the walls of our offices.

In order to ensure that this culture forms part of our daily lives at FSDH, several initiatives were designed and undertaken. One of those initiatives is to single out a member of staff who has more patently exhibited the values we have adopted and to celebrate them as role models. Since 1999 we have celebrated 6 FSDH persons of the year in 2 categories, senior and junior.
