Tsogo Sun was recently ranking eighth in the overall Top 10 Best Employers in South Africa for 2010/2011 by the CRF Institute. Tsogo Sun was No 1 in the hotels and gaming sector, fourth best large employer and fifth best empowered employer.

Tsogo Sun aims to attract and develop gifted people and provide an environment where people are happy to work every day.

Tsogo Sun is one of the world’s largest gaming and leisure resorts, with 14 casinos across South Africa and 90 hotels across Africa and the Middle East. Southern Sun operates 89 of these hotels with 14 306 rooms in six countries. Southern Sun’s portfolio includes several brands: Southern Sun Deluxe Hotels, Southern Sun Hotels and Resorts, Sun Square, Garden Court, StayEasy by Southern Sun, InterContinental Hotels & Resorts, and Southern Sun Lifestyle Resorts.

A focus on training is also a business priority. E-learning is a platform, underpinned by coaching and mentoring. This mindset of advancement extends to include environmental and social development, thereby satisfying employees’ increasing consciousness regarding broader societal issues.

The group has implemented an environmental management system to balance its economic, social and environmental responsibilities. All its hotels and casinos have an environmental management plan; they recycle waste, use energy-efficient lighting and install window glazing to reduce air-conditioning loads. Products are environmentally friendly and hotel guests are encouraged to re-use towels.
