Our people
Meet Jassi Dhawan-Randell, Technical Consultant
"I joined Fidelity after a career break to look after my children. The initial returners programme ran for 20 weeks but the support has been ongoing. I definitely feel that being a returner enabled me to have open and honest discussions about my limitations and balancing my career with life. And, as I help Fidelity to deliver technologies that improve our customers’ experiences, it's important those conversations take place.
Our reputation and what our customers mean to us is embedded in our culture and we all work hard to satisfy our customers. The fact that we have ongoing conversations about how we work and live is really positive, as it helps us to prioritise and keep focussed on our customers so that we can deliver for them."
