Breaking Borders: How iKhokha Embraces Remote Working

The concept of remote work needs no introduction. For scaling companies and those looking to attract best in class talent, going beyond the boundaries of geographical limitations has been a worthy contributor to our hiring success in a difficult climate.

86% of South African employees surveyed by Cisco say that a hybrid work system has improved their work performance, well-being, work-life balance, and personal confidence.

Still, despite the general positive response from our workforce, remote work can create unique challenges that leaders and HR teams need to be prepared for.

Why Does iKhokha Embrace Remote Working?

At iKhokha, remote work has become a part of how many of our teams operate today.

As a growing fintech company with an HQ situated in Durban, our need for top talent that is able to meet the speed and scale of our organisation is increasing month-on-month. To support this, we needed to rethink our traditional onsite model and overall attraction strategy.

Our Remote and Hybrid work policies have been successful drivers in attracting and retaining talent. Now that we’ve set our sights on expanding our team internationally, remote work is key to growing the skill set we have at our disposal and ultimately, our impact in South Africa.

“My favourite part of my role is developing a team culture that thrives on solving problems together. Collaboration, meaningful communication, and collective contributions are the hallmarks of the iKhokha culture. Despite working across the country, we solve problems together every day!” - iKhokha Employee

Our People, Our Culture

The key to making remote work a success for any organisation is to support employees with the tools they need to communicate and collaborate effectively with their teams and the broader business. These can include instant messaging tools, visual engagement platforms, and project management software.

?“iKhokha considers remote workers in all activities. The part that makes it the easiest is that the WHOLE team embraces this form of work, and we never feel left out.” – iKhokha Employee
