Very Good Environment
I have worked in 2 different departments within sanlam and both have different environments according to the different structures, management styles and needs.
The latest environment I worked in (Information Security) was a great work space, with a strict, knowledgeable and understanding manager.
The company as a whole is a great company to work for with good employee benefits. It has a Afrikaans traditional history, overtime it has moved towards a balanced multicultural workplace.

Focus driven company but with the ability to care for their employees
The culture at the company is of such a nature that you want to excel. Usually, your day starts with a team meeting where the day's objectives are discussed. In the environment that I worked in was within a small team environment (15 people +/-) which was conducive for team moral. They have some of the best managers with the integrity to understand about being target driven but also about being people-orientated.

Friendly professional environment, continuous product and industry training
As an Authorised Principal, I learnt a lot about corporate rules and regulations. Learnt to recruit, manage and mentor Financial Advisers. Learnt management skills and. Workplace culture is friendly and helpful. The hardest part of the job was that our agreements changed, systems changed, products changed and requirements to write new business changed and that affected my income and financial sustainability.

Company that create opportunities to grow individually
I was afforded various opportunities to grow myself by hard work and accepting every challenge that came my way. The company allowed me to grow in the business fraternity as I served on various business and public forums such as SAPOA, Vice Chairman of the Afrikaans Chamber of Commerce, I represented Sanlam Properties at the Peace Committees during the build up to the 1994 inauguration of Nelson Mandela as the first elected black president of SA.
Whilst in East London, I got the company to sponsor a conference in conjunction with SAPOA to meet with some of core group of American who had changed The Bronx in New York to a small Disney World where people could walk about freely, enjoying restaurants and many other activities. The core of the success in The Bronx was the buy in of property owners whom contributed a special levy from which the area was managed by a core group of as well as people supplying all essential services like security and cleaning etc.
I have also amongst my general leasing responsibilities negotiated long term leases with The Special Heath Investigating Unit (PWD- 4784/m2 for 10 years), the Local Council who leased five floors of office space from us also in East London and various other big leasing contacts with national tenants.
In conclusion the company create opportunities for growth, one must identify this and take up every challenge that comes your way

Productive workplace
Good Day
A typical day in my life is to get to work not knowing what to expect happens most of the time. I then arrange my work according to importance. I learned that no matter what comes my way I am adult enough to face any challenge.
Management is always flexible and accommodative and they are easy to work with even though they are strict.
The hardest part of my job is to constantly follow-up with management on approvals as most of the top management is located in Johannesburg.
I enjoy working with all the people in the different regions on a daily basis.
