A Business Etiquette and Professional Grooming Workshop was conducted for Old Mutual Management and Staff on 4 September 2018 at Old Mutual Head Office, Harare.

Mr V. A Chikanda, urged Old Mutual Zimbabwe to redouble its efforts to revamp its customer service etiquettes to maintain integrity and positive public perception in order to maximize profits. In Business Etiquette and Protocol, participants learnt how to interact and converse socially with others, effective introductions, proper business mannerism and among other things. Professional Grooming and Deportment session impressed upon them the essence on personal hygiene, body/skin care, body language, posture and understanding the correct way of dressing.
