Kartika Surja FDM Consultant,placed at Bank of America Merrill Lynch,Singapore

I wanted to be an example for my daughter; a working mum can also be a full time mum, she is not penalised for being a woman and she can pursue family life as well as a career. FDM is unique in that it champions exactly this, supporting women returning to work!

Getting Back to Business Programme

The FDM Getting Back to Business Programme is specifically designed to provide employment opportunities for individuals who have taken an extended break in their career, facilitating their re-entry into the workplace.

With 75+ nationalities and cultures working together as a team, FDM is dedicated to promoting a diverse workforce that reflects our wider society. As an equal opportunity employer, our aim is to build an inclusive environment where people from all backgrounds and ethnicities are able to thrive.

At FDM we create and inspire exciting careers that shape our digital future and by having regular contact with our consultants on-site, we ensure that they are making a difference from day one.

We provide ongoing support, guidance and development through various initiatives such as the Consultant Peer Support and Mentoring Programmes as well as ME+, a bespoke digital application allowing our consultants to set themselves goals, structuring their careers in line with their aspirations.
