Good morning! 

We’ve officially launched FrameworkFriday.com, and while we’re still in the middle of implementing a few things, it’s exciting to see it live. With Q2 now underway, I’ve been thinking a lot about what’s next and how we can build on the momentum from Q1. Let’s stay focused and make this quarter count.

Strategy

🎯 Workforce Innovation & Talent Retention Strategy

In today’s competitive market, retaining skilled property management professionals is just as important as attracting tenants. A strong Workforce Innovation & Talent Retention Strategy helps property management firms keep top talent engaged, reduce turnover costs, and build a high-performing team that drives long-term success.

How Property Managers Can Implement a Workforce Innovation & Talent Retention Strategy

1. Redefine Roles with Flexibility & Autonomy

Modern property professionals value autonomy, flexible work environments, and clear pathways for growth. Rethinking traditional roles to include flexible hours or hybrid models can significantly increase employee satisfaction.

Action Steps:
✅ Offer remote or hybrid work options for administrative roles.
✅ Allow site managers to create their own schedules, where possible.
✅ Encourage ownership by giving employees decision-making power in their areas of responsibility.

2. Invest in Ongoing Training & Upskilling

Retention improves when employees feel their careers are advancing. Training programs not only build stronger teams but also signal a commitment to long-term employee success.

Action Steps:
✅ Provide access to certifications or industry courses in leasing, compliance, or maintenance.
✅ Host quarterly training workshops on leadership, communication, and new technology tools.
✅ Create mentorship programs that connect newer staff with experienced professionals.

3. Modernize Internal Communication

Clunky communication processes are frustrating and inefficient. Streamlining internal communication can reduce burnout and increase collaboration.

Action Steps:
✅ Use a centralized platform like Slack, Microsoft Teams, or property management-specific tools to share updates and tasks.
✅ Establish regular team check-ins (weekly or biweekly) to align on goals and provide support.
✅ Create a culture of recognition where achievements are publicly celebrated.

4. Align Compensation with Market Standards

Compensation isn’t just about base pay — it’s also about benefits, perks, and growth opportunities. Staying competitive ensures you attract and retain top-tier talent.

Action Steps:
✅ Conduct annual compensation reviews and adjust pay scales accordingly.
✅ Offer incentives like performance bonuses, wellness programs, or professional development stipends.
✅ Consider non-monetary benefits, such as extra PTO or flexible scheduling.

5. Create Clear Career Paths

People stay where they see a future. Clear growth plans help employees visualize their next role and feel invested in their journey within your organization.

Action Steps:
✅ Develop internal career ladders for key roles (e.g., leasing agent → property manager → regional manager).
✅ Offer quarterly check-ins to review progress and discuss long-term goals.
✅ Promote from within whenever possible to reinforce loyalty and trust.

By implementing this strategy, property managers can not only reduce employee turnover but also build a culture that drives loyalty, innovation, and long-term performance.

Could RYSE be the next Ring?

Venture capitalists know how difficult it is to spot early investment opportunities – just ask the Sharks from Shark Tank. They passed on Ring at just $700,000, only to watch it sell to Amazon for $1.2B – a 1700x return missed.

Now, there’s a new smart home start-up following the same blueprint: meet RYSE.

The founder pitched on Canada’s Shark Tank, secured two offers, and now their patented smart shades are sold in 127 Best Buy stores, Amazon and Walmart – with Home Depot launching in 2025.

Ring used retail expansion to dominate smart security. RYSE is using the same playbook to disrupt the smart shade market inside the 158B smart home industry.

💰 You can invest at just $1.90/share – and receive up to 25% in bonus shares!

Boardroom Brief

How New Listing Rules May Impact Property Managers

A landmark settlement involving the National Association of Realtors (NAR) is set to bring significant changes to how real estate transactions are conducted across the U.S. Under the new rules, set to take effect this summer, home sellers will no longer be required to offer commission to buyer agents via MLS listings—a move expected to increase transparency and potentially lower buyer costs. While primarily aimed at the residential sales market, this shift could ripple into the rental and property management sectors, particularly in markets where sales teams and leasing agents overlap. Property managers should watch for how these changes influence buyer behavior, agent relationships, and compensation models across the real estate ecosystem.

Could RYSE Be the Next Ring?

When Amazon bought Ring for $1.2B, Kevin O’Leary called it the biggest miss in Shark Tank history—a 66,756% return lost.

Now, a new smart home disruptor is gaining traction: meet RYSE. Their patented technology automates existing window shades—no replacements needed.

With $10M+ in revenue, 200% YoY growth, and distribution in 127 Best Buy stores (with Home Depot launching in 2025), RYSE is scaling fast in the $158B smart home market.

Unlike Ring, you can still invest early—shares are just $1.90 each.
