MVA Fund crowned best company to work for

Deloitte recognised both FNBB and MVA Fund for achieving a mean-score in excess of the standard of excellence threshold.
In an overall statement, Deloitte said despite the threat of a double dip recession, many organisations were unaware of the gap between "the attitudes and desires of their employees and the talent strategies and practices they have adopted".
"The reality is that rising levels of workforce disengagement combined with increasing turnover intentions, which have built up slowly but steadily during the recession, may in fact impact companies across the very business units that they are relying on to drive growth and innovation," the global financial advisory firm said.
The statement continued: "To compound this situation even further, the general sentiment amongst employees we have surveyed suggests that their employers are not doing a good job at implementing their talent strategies."
Project director, David Conradie said the survey had become an "empirically validated measure of employee experience," adding that many long term participants had incorporated its results into the human capital strategies.
"From an initial benchmarking exercise, now companies get very rich, valuable and granular level detail about their employees and how they view them as employers," he told the Deloitte SA blog.
"At first companies came in interested in how they compared against the market but there has been a shift over the years and many have found this survey to be a successful inclusion in their broader human capital initiatives."
Representatives of this year's survey winners will meet at the annual conference to be held on November 15 at Monte Casino in Sandton, Johannesburg.
