What is it like to work at KRS?
The Spirit of KRS: Human-centred careers
KRS has always been a human-centred company. The Covid-19 pandemic prompted us to go fully remote and find life-work balance in a new way.
We’re still a social bunch and love to hang out together. On any given day you might find teams playing a quick game of Among Us, enjoying a company braai in Wynberg Park or getting creative at Clay Cafe. The chance to chill out and have some fun is a vital part of our culture.
We actively focus on psychological safety to create an ethos where everyone feels that they belong. We’ve reduced our working hours, run workshops and career upskilling programs and improved our maternity and paternity benefits. We also have a small office with hot desks. This offers teams the opportunity or individuals to connect, if they prefer a more social environment.
Our ethos
We pause and reflect a lot. From quarterly leadership strategy reviews to teams retrospectives. Consequently we are determined to rethink the workplace constructs and reimagine the type of environment that allow our people to thrive and build incredible careers.
