Maria Saouri, Director and Co-Owner of MKS Audit & Consulting Ltd, discusses the company's recent recognition as Best Workplace™ for Women 2026, emphasizing that this is a recognition of the philosophy and values they serve daily. MKS, founded in 2013, has grown into a team of 35 professionals, serving a wide range of clients, from small businesses to large corporations. Ms. Saouri highlights the importance of authenticity in approaching equality issues, as well as the value of inclusion, equal access to development opportunities, collaboration, and psychological safety. The company is distinguished by the fact that the majority of its employees are women, at all levels of management. Regarding ensuring equal opportunities, MKS implements transparent evaluation criteria, based on performance, skills, and the contribution of each employee, with equal pay for equal work. At the same time, it cultivates a culture of zero tolerance for discrimination or prejudice, encouraging open communication and dialogue with management. This distinction confirms the successful implementation of the company's philosophy and its commitment to creating a work environment where all employees feel they belong and can fully develop their potential. MKS considers equality not only as a moral obligation, but also as an investment with long-term value.
