Makana at Forvis Mazars

The end of the year tends to be a demanding stretch for many organizations, ourselves included. Targets tighten, deadlines shrink, and energy runs out. Sectors like consulting are no exception. One example is Forvis Mazars in Chile, an international organization that provides audit, tax, legal, outsourcing, and consulting services, and that also feels the pressure of this time of year with particular intensity.

It was precisely that context that led Forvis Mazars to bring Makana in as part of its strategy for supporting its teams. The process was driven by Massiel Veloso Novoa, the firm's Human Resources Director, who led the effort to roll out this wellbeing solution inside the organization.

“This is a high-stress time for our financial audit teams, so we thought this was a good moment to support our professionals from a different angle,” says Massiel.

Stress isn't only felt, it also shows up in the body

The workday doesn't only take a toll emotionally. The dynamics of office work, such as long stretches in a static position, sustained concentration, and periods of heavy demand, can create muscle discomfort that directly shapes how employees experience their own wellbeing.

This happens constantly throughout the year, but it gets sharper in the periods of greatest stress and workload. A team that feels better performs better. And that is exactly what Massiel saw.

Wellbeing that creates a virtuous circle

As Massiel sees it, caring for health, promoting good balance, and strengthening the workplace climate creates a real virtuous circle. One of the most important aspects of this integration is understanding wellbeing as an engine of organizational balance.

When a company commits to the real wellbeing of its teams, the benefits show up not only in the people, but also in the work environment, motivation, and the sustainability of performance.

Makana as an ally in any process, especially the demanding ones

Massiel joins the list of professionals who trust Makana today, not only as a tool for care but as a strategic ally in making informed decisions and in the work of turning wellbeing into an organizational asset, preventing not only through action and care, but also through data.

“Makana gave us the confidence that it would be with us on this crusade,” says Massiel.

Because this isn't only about installing a solution; it's about standing with organizations when they need it most.

Projecting wellbeing is also projecting results

Expectations for this process are high, but they rest on a clear conviction: investing in wellbeing is investing in people, in workplace climate, and in performance.

“I'm sure we'll get there,” Massiel concludes.

Final thought

Forvis Mazars stands today as an example in Chile of a workplace culture that knows how to listen to its teams when they need it most. Its experience shows that care makes even more sense when it is put in place in high-demand contexts.

Makana doesn't arrive as an add-on perk, but as a concrete tool to ease tension, strengthen health, and build organizational culture at the moments that matter.

The best time to do it? As soon as possible.
