\u201cSome scholars have pointed out how the natural focus of companies is on fostering customer loyalty; our belief, however as a responsible business is to nurture our relationship with all stakeholders and these include our customers, the government, media, our shareholders , regulators, suppliers just to mention a few,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

Jiya further said, as a responsible business, Old Mutual\u2019s approach to business was to establish and maintain long-term relationships with their stakeholders.<\/p>\n

According to her, the company\u2019s values guide their actions and behaviours in the manner in which to lead people and deal with their stakeholders, including suppliers.<\/p>\n

\u201cThrough such policies, procedures and culture, we aim to form successful, long-term, and credible partnerships with all our suppliers,\u201d Jiya stated.<\/p>\n

During the event, suppliers were also taken through the procurement policy so that suppliers\u2019 expectations and needs are met. One of the participants, Mike Siliya, who is into furniture business hailed Old Mutual for the training describing it as an eye opener.<\/p>\n

He said during the training they have learnt alot on how to run a successful business. \u201cThis training came at the right time when we are going through difficult times with the Covid \u2013 19.We salute Old Mutual for this kind of training,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy message was that we don\u2019t have to give up just because we are going through diffucult tines.I reminded them to put an extra gear in their business,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
