More than 70% of Ninety One North America employees participated in the survey.
Anker further commented, “Our global and regional leadership teams understand that strong corporate culture is a business imperative. As a principles-led organization, we seek to create a work environment that empowers our to support each other, serve our clients and engage with our communities."
