Workforce transformation

We are committed to a diverse and empowered workforce that underpins the success and progression of the organisation. Most recently, through numerous Statement 102 transactions and other initiatives, we achieved a Level 2 B-BBEE rating, and we continue to promote a workforce that is representative of South Africa’s demographic.

Employee wellness

Through our leave policy, wellness assessments and semi-flexible work hours, we aim to ensure that employees can manage their work commitments and their personal goals, maintaining a balanced lifestyle which supports holistic growth.

Equites Student VAC Programme

We have created a platform for young South Africans studying towards a qualification in the built environment or students with an interest in the field to gain industry insight and launch into the workplace better equipped.

This is a week-long programme that gives participants a practical, task-orientated glimpse into what working at a REIT entails and how the various departments operate.

We host the programme twice a year, once in Johannesburg and once in Cape Town, during tertiary holiday periods. More information is available via our calendar and on our social media platforms.

The Michel Lanfranchi Foundation NPC

In partnership with the Michel Lanfranchi Foundation NPC, we provide students with practical skills to prepare them for work in the property industry.

The foundation offers bursaries to previously disadvantaged students and engages them in a learnership programme with us, at Equites.

Therefore, in addition to the funding provided in the form of bursaries, the recipients also receive mentoring and practical business experience that gives them insight into the corporate world and enables them to put their studies into practice.
