This research paper looks at the impacts of labour practices in commercial property management on overall property performance. The paper profiles a number of case studies to help property investors, companies and managers develop an understanding of best practices in the commercial property sector, examine the benefits that others have derived from adhering to high labour standards, and generally identify opportunities and barriers associated with explicit incorporation of labour standards into investment practice. The purpose of this project is to examine the business case for good labour practices in commercial property management. The research and case studies will allow real estate investors, companies and property managers to better assess the role that strong employment policies and programs can play in the fulfillment of their fiduciary duties.
