Describe DMI Housing Finance's emphasis on work culture.

DMI Housing Finance uses digitization and automation to empower employees and encourage an open-door policy of direct communication with senior management, aligning everyone to a shared vision. DMI has been an employer of choice in the housing finance industry. We always stand with our teams, especially during tough times like COVID-19.

Creating a positive work culture is a top priority. The company achieves this by organizing team offsites and implementing various reward and recognition programs. Additionally, the leadership team regularly visits branches to motivate employees. The company's cautious risk strategy, supported by digital analytics and automation, has resulted in a healthier portfolio, which has helped reduce the burden of non-performing assets (NPAs). This has also motivated the field teams to focus more on quality and efficiency.
