Growthpoint has an Employment Equity Forum which is representative of all employees. The forum meets regularly to discuss equity issues.

 

We also have a full range of employee relations policies in place to cover all employee rights, as outlined in the Labour Relations Act. These include policies governing sick, maternity, and paternity and study leave, prevention of discrimination and sexual harassment, and treatment of people suffering from disabilities. These polices are published on the staff intranet.

 

With Growthpoint's culture encouraging open and honest dialogue among staff, workforce collective agreements and union involvement have not become necessary within Growthpoint; nor have we experienced employee relations issues such as strike days and industrial action.
