Our culture

How we do business is as important as what we do

We believe our culture differentiates us and is a competitive advantage in the markets we compete in. By encouraging mutual respect and a continuous learning and growth mindset, we take advantage of the cognitive diversity of a globally sourced and highly skilled employee base, offering clients the widest perspectives.

We create opportunities for our people, empowering them to make impactful decisions with a no-blame culture and willingness to test and learn. Our values influence everything we do, and our inclusive, collaborative and transparent culture allows us to adjust priorities quickly to meet changing client requirements.

Helping clients realise their goals

As an enabler of ideas, we help our clients realise their goals. From this philosophy, ‘ideas happen here’ was adopted. This concept demonstrates our client-focused model through our brand; and our ‘spark of an idea’ campaign illustrates our ability to improve our clients’ experiences through insights.

At RBC BlueBay, we believe the ‘spark of an idea’ shows how we can turn the start of a thought in our clients’ minds into reality.
