Valuing Our People

Training & Education

At Aegis, we pride ourselves in ensuring our professionals are qualified and stay abreast in any changes to international standards. We ensure our professionals are qualified or are attaining the required accreditation for their service area. Additionally, from Business Writing to Office Etiquette, employees are provided with free task-based training as well as coaching on issues that don’t necessarily fall within functional range but which are relevant to personal growth and development.

Building communities

Aegis team members volunteer their time to form social clubs, societies and committees. Beyond diminishing departmental boundaries these institutions operate to encourage employees and their families to invest in their physical wellness and financial futures and foster the premise that charity begins at home. Some of the clubs formed since the company’s inception are: Aegis Investment Club, Aegis Credit Union Corporative Society, Aegis Social Events Club and Aegis Charity Committee
