A reminder that the University of Cape Town survey on employers' views of the Employment Tax Incentive (ETI) is still open.

The research team is led by Professor Haroon Bhorat, and the project is in collaboration with Productivity SA. The findings form part of a DPRU research project in support of National Treasury and will be presented at the Presidential Economic Advisory Council.

Your firm's input into this process is valuable and it will only take 10 to 15 minutes of your time. The survey closes on Friday, 25 September 2026.

Building productive workplaces through collaboration, continuous improvement and shared success.

A productive workplace starts with the basics.

The 5S Method helps teams create cleaner, safer and more efficient workspaces through five practical steps: Sort, Set in Order, Shine, Standardise and Sustain.

It’s not about a once-off clean-up. It’s about building better habits that last.

Which of the 5S steps does your workplace need to focus on most?

Just because it works, doesn’t mean it can’t work better. 🙌
