At Morton Real Estate, our commitment to the community extends beyond providing exceptional real estate services. An example of this is our Sydney sales, leasing, and property management teams who volunteered at St Vincent de Paul in Surry Hills in August this year. Partnering with the realestate.com.au team, we sorted clothing, stocked shelves, and assisted with pricing.
Volunteering helps us connect with our community on a deeper level. Ettiene West, our Sydney city sales agent, enjoyed the experience, highlighting the opportunity to give back, work with his team differently, and meet locals. These interactions help us understand the needs and aspirations of our community, fostering a sense of belonging and mutual support.
In 2023, Morton introduced a paid volunteer program to encourage community involvement. Volunteering benefits both employees and employers by improving mental health, developing skills, and attracting talent. It provides opportunities for employees to develop valuable skills such as teamwork, leadership, and problem-solving, which are transferable to their professional roles.
Our commitment to community service makes Morton Real Estate an attractive workplace. Prospective employees are increasingly looking for companies that prioritise social responsibility and offer opportunities for personal growth and community involvement. By fostering a culture of volunteering, we enhance our team’s well-being and attract individuals who share our values.
Furthermore, volunteering is crucial for local communities as it brings people together, strengthens social bonds, and addresses local needs. It allows businesses like ours to give back and support the community that supports us. By actively participating in community service, we help create a more resilient and vibrant local environment, ensuring that everyone benefits from shared prosperity and well-being.
