5 excellent reasons to relocate your business to Moka

This choice is based on economic reasons, but there are other motivations as well. Here are 5 good reasons to convince you to join Moka’s community of happy professionals!

A happy workforce

What do Synergy, Plastinax Austral Eyewear, Decathlon, ESP Landscapers and Field Good have in common? Like many companies in Moka, they have all earned the Great Place To Work® certification, a global benchmark for employee experience. 

This certification created in 1988 recognises companies in 60 countries that provide a rewarding work environment to their employees. The criteria for the award are based on trust in leadership, friendliness with colleagues, pride and professional development opportunities. 

These employees are also happy because they have an exceptional work environment: proximity to everyday conveniences, the accessibility of the city and the unique workplace environment bring happiness is within reach! 

These factors all contribute to the well-being of employees, and in turn, to the overall business performance.

Easier mobility

Moka has a very efficient road network to improve the flow of visiting professionals every day. There are four access and exit roads and the city is located right next to the island’s two motorways – the M1 and M3 (Terre Rouge-Verdun-Ebene) – as well as the St Pierre Bypass Road and the A7 Road. 

Pending the potential extension of the Metro Express line to Moka, several bus lines connect the smart city to the rest of the island. A private shuttle (the Moka Shuttle) even allows residents of Curepipe and Vacoas to travel comfortably to their workplaces. Various projects underway with the Road Development Authority – such as the construction of new interchanges linking the Verdun and Saint Pierre bypasses, and at the Réduit roundabout – will also help relieve congestion in Moka and make it more accessible to people from the centre, south and west of the island. 

And the great thing is that Moka promotes soft mobility with sidewalks, bike paths and electric scooters, among others. Local professionals have plenty of choice for their micro-trips. 

Everything is a couple of steps away

Moka Smart City deliberately brings its commercial, professional and residential areas closer together to improve user convenience. In this quintessential quarter-hour city, everything is located within steps – or a short drive away: 

• nurseries and schools; 
• supermarkets and shopping malls; 
• post offices; 
• banks and ATMs; 
• sports centre, and 
• restaurants. 

Ask and you will be served! 

An ideal geographical location

Moka is ideally located in the heart of the island, allowing access to a significant catchment area. The city is only 5 minutes from Ebene and 15 minutes from Port Louis – major economic hotspots on the island – and 30 minutes from the North. Moreover, it is located in an urban area that accounts for 40% of the working population and 70% of the purchasing power of Mauritius. Yes, you read it right! 

Well-being at work

After effort comes comfort. There is nothing like going out to relax after (or even during) a hard day’s work. Many sports and cultural activities are hosted at the Telfair Amphitheatre in Moka jointly with the Moka’mwad collective, among others. The more pensive ones will enjoy a walk along La Promenade – with a breathtaking view of Pieter Both Mountain and the beautiful Moka Mountain Range – or across the future 10-acre Martial Noël Park to clear their minds.  

To sum it up, Moka is a modern, vibrant city to work and grow a business. And as we all know, happy employees are more productive employees!
