| Abstract / Description | This paper examines the labour and human capital aspects of responsible real estate. Investors and property managers have started to implement responsible contractor policies (RCPs) in order to respond to labour challenges in the industry, including subcontracting, low wages and benefits, unstable working hours, and poor working conditions. This paper explores the impact of fair labour practices on property performance, and assesses the applicability of RCPs in the Canadian property industry by exploring the use of such policies by real estate investors and managers in the United States. |
