“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.
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)
We want to be the most loved, most respected and most profitable broker in South Africa
We provide financial stability so people can work, live and play with peace of mind
We care about people and their wellbeing
“Stronger than Yesterday®”
“Uncompromising Standards”
Our brand promise is a commitment to our clients, business partners, suppliers and staff to be ruthless at holding ourselves to the highest standards.
Kayser Baird was founded in Durban in 1986. We have grown to become one of the largest and most successful independent brokers in the country.
