The Kayser Baird Culture

“Culture Eats Strategy for Breakfast” – Peter Drucker

At Kayser Baird, we place a great deal of importance on our culture. It is at the core of what drives our success. We believe that our culture is not what we say, but rather what we do together as a team of dynamic and diverse short-term insurance specialists.

Our culture is not only entrenched within the people in our business, but also those outside of it – our clients, our business partners, our suppliers and even the families of our staff.



A CULTURE DEVELOPED OVER TIME

The Kayser Baird culture, a catalyst that brings our people closer, is something that has been developed over time. It is a combination of many things, most specifically our Mission, Our Purpose and our Core Values.

As we have grown over the past 35 years, we have continually focused on identifying how we are perceived by our various stakeholders, and ensured that as we grow we don’t lose sight of what made us a successful company in the first place. 

We cannot “package” our culture and explain what it is because our culture is a combination of many things, some of which are difficult to measure. We remain focused on knowing where we want to be in the future (our Vision), why we want to be there (our Purpose) and what it is that we are going to be doing while we get there (our Mission)

Our vision

We want to be the most loved, most respected and most profitable broker in South Africa

Our mission

We provide financial stability so people can work, live and play with peace of mind

Our purpose

We care about people and their wellbeing

Our Slogan

“Stronger than Yesterday®”

Our company slogan “Stronger than Yesterday” is our commitment to continually improve all facets of our business to the advantage of our clients and the service they receive. We also strive to improve our business to the advantage of our employees and their development as people. Every day, every month and every year we remain focused on continually improving who we are as a business and who we are as individuals. While we are a business with a common purpose, we recognise that we are also individuals with our own unique ways. We believe that together, we are stronger than yesterday. As one of the leading short-term brokers in South Africa, we are always looking at ways in which we can improve as a business.  Please share your feedback with us so we can better understand how we are measuring up to your expectations – info@kayserbaird.co.za
