Strategic Direction

As a company with a reputation for strategic forward thinking, we aim to utilise imminent legislative change as a growth opportunity and have implemented an aggressive growth strategy. However, strategy is worthless without execution. We pride ourselves on the dedicated and skilled individuals and teams committed to delivery excellence... we are problem-solvers with a track-record for ethical behaviour and a client-centric business culture.

Ownership

Capacity is wholly-owned by the Adcorp Holdings group of companies. Founded in 1978, Adcorp Holdings Limited was listed on the Johannesburg Stock Exchange in 1987 and developed to become South Africa’s largest and most respected company involved in the staffing and temporary employment services industry.

Values

Our company is widely respected for its adherence to good corporate governance ideals and exceptional labour compliance. We encourage our management team, staff members and assignees to actively live our company values, which include Integrity, Accountability, Professionalism, Passion, Empathy and Teamwork.

Heritage

Our company was established in 1983, adopting three key business drivers - trust, reliability and service excellence - a heritage that spans three decades, touching the lives of over 1 million assignees.

Leadership

Ours is a people-orientated business. Our leadership acknowledges that its members of staff and its assignees are its most important assets. Management respects the dignity of all its people and is committed to their growth and development. Our leadership has launched a company-wide ‘good-to-great’ initiative designed to drive improvements which emphasise efficiency and key delivery criteria. We have adopted a ‘measure to manage’ philosophy, positioning Capacity on the path to business
excellence.

Broad-Based Black Economic Empowerment

We are committed to transformation in the business context and support the principles behind Broad-Based Black Economic Empowerment (B-BBEE). This is evidenced by the fact that our company is an Empowerdex-certified Level 2 Contributor, a rating we have enjoyed for a number of years. Our sound empowerment credentials can positively influence client B-BBEE status, positively impacting preferential procurement spend.

DEVELOPMENT

The South African skills shortage has a detrimental effect on the entire business community, increasing unemployment levels and reducing productivity. Our company’s response is to continuously encourage our assignees to avail themselves of the opportunities we facilitate in terms of further developing and enhancing their skills. Such growth and development opportunities include learnerships (for site-specific skills), artisan training and a strong focus on those with disabilities. We set out to build opportunities for growth.
