The survey covers six HR domains consisting of 20 topics including People Strategy, Work Environment, Talent Acquisition, Learning, Diversity, Equity &amp; Inclusion, Well-being, and more.<\/p>\n<p>Makosi, founded in 2006, partners with accounting teams around the world to deliver high-quality variable workforce solutions including audit, assurance, and advisory services. The business addresses the biggest challenge currently facing audit and accounting firms: sourcing and retaining talent by offering on-demand talent through a flexible talent pool, that is easily scalable and reduces the recruitment cycle to a few hours. Its disruptive business model is a cost-effective and efficient alternative to the outdated secondment model.<\/p>\n<p>The company employs more than 1 500 accountants in 12 countries offering a compelling employment proposition: the ability to work with international clients either virtually or through global mobility assignments and advance their careers with international exposure and experience while benefiting from attractive remuneration benefits and good career growth.<\/p>\n<p>Cindy Botha, VP of people operations and engagement at Makosi says, \u201cBeing named a Top Employer for 2023 is a tribute to Makosi\u2019s people-centered employee practices which are geared to creating a great place to work while at the same time creating unprecedented opportunities for our team members.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In addition to providing 100% remote working opportunities, Makosi also offers flexible working hours.<br \/>Boasting a uniquely designed innovative technology platform, Makosi brings efficiency and transparency to hiring, onboarding, and project management, while dedicated engagement managers and journey advocates remain committed to customer centricity through developing and deploying the highest-performing employees and a business strategy that provides even more room to grow for both clients and Makosi employees.<\/p>\n<p>Innovation is at the core of Makosi\u2019s people strategy. A focus on professional and personal coaching and development, a leading one-of-a-kind employee value proposition, and a unique workforce model enable high performers to break any glass-ceiling and achieve the unthinkable.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBased on the premise that happy people deliver the best results, our culture is firmly focused on the best interests of our people,\u201d explains Botha. \u201cRather than pigeon-holing people we take their interests and aspirations into account and pay a great deal of attention to developing and supporting them. We schedule frequent team chats and give everybody a voice so that nobody feels that they are in a silo or alone. We also understand that some people may at some stage want to move on to other opportunities. In these instances, we don\u2019t stand in their way but rather support them. We want people to be happy. If they leave on a good note we hope that they will continue to advocate for Makosi or become what we call \u2018raving fans\u2019.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Customer-centricity is another key pillar for the business, she reveals. \u201cEverything we do starts with the customer in mind. When we show up to a client we deliver the best services, quality, and attitude. Not only do we always act in the best interests of the client but we align our goals with those of the client. In the same way that we want former team members to advocate for Makosi, we want happy and satisfied customers that advocate for us.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>A critical part of Makosi\u2019s purpose is rooted in its Makosi 10K Kids Impact Mission which intends to put 10 000 children from underprivileged backgrounds through school over the next three years. The company publicly releases an impact report once a year to document its efforts, measure its impact, and communicate progress with important stakeholders. Find the latest report here.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMakosi\u2019s impact mission is about driving positive impact by providing a hand-up rather than a hand-out. In addition to providing resources, we are also providing mentorship and time. We are hoping to redefine the industry and highlight a potential career path for those who are interested in pursuing accounting as a career,\u201d concludes Botha.<\/p>\n<p>Top Employers Institute CEO David Plink says, \u201cExceptional times bring out the best in people and organisations.
