Property management issues

rentgal · July 21st, 2009, 08:20 PM

Hi,

I just started a new job as a HR Generalist with a condominium mangement firm. In trying to be proactive I would appreciate your feedback on what some of the issues property managers/staff face with respect to human resources, and how a HR person can be of help.

Any feedback would be greatly appreciated!! Thanks.

Can you tell me which type issue do you face?

I don't have any issues as I just started, day one. I'm trying to see what some possible issues may be so I can start proactively planning how to avoid/deal with them before they become a problem.

Possibly a good idea is to sit down and speak to all of the employees individually and see if they have any particular issues and start from there?

They have to have a personality that can take the abuse of board members. There's a lot of catty behavior and it's not for the faint of heart. High turnover in association management.

They also need to have good communications skills and to be able to negoiate with service providers and board members alike

I agree. As a vendor for a luxury condominium, we inadvertently hear and see a lot of petty things regarding the Board members and we just keep our eyes open and mouths shut!

People get pretty testy when they're dealing with irate customers/tenants. If I were you, I'd work on dealing with irate employees. Just run some search engine queries and hone your anger management skills, haha.

A another skill that a property manager may require is patience, once all the board members have their say then you can get on with the business!

All great ideas. Its good to be proactive but even the better of us property managers seem to still face something we haven't seen. Still all great ideas. I actually wish I had thought of this before I got started.
