Legal Aid's website states that it has been a Top Employer for 17 years.
Legal Aid South Africa has been certified a Top Employer for the 17th consecutive year, recognition that comes as the organisation has needed to deal with a strike, an R813 million budget shortfall and mounting concern among employees over workloads, retirement policies and staffing levels.
However, the recognition and the labour dispute are not measuring the same thing. The Top Employers Institute certification is not an employee satisfaction survey, nor is it based on staff voting for their employer.
Instead, participating organisations complete the institute's HR Best Practices Survey, which is independently validated and assesses people practices across six HR domains and more than 20 topics.
These include people strategy, talent acquisition, learning, leadership, wellbeing, diversity and inclusion, ethics, digital HR and organisational change.
