The Marshall White Advantage
14 November 2024
Staff Turnover
Property owners often consider changing property management due to frequent staff turnover. In Victoria, property management turnover mirrors the national rate of 30% to 40% annually due to the demanding nature of the job, including managing renter and rental provider expectations, regulatory changes, and heavy workloads. High stress, burnout, and workload intensity are commonly cited challenges in the industry.
While it might seem logical to switch agencies, this may not solve the problem if the new agency lacks a foundation for longevity. At Marshall White, we understand the importance of a stable team and have structured our business to address this common concern.
Understanding Staff Changes
Staff changes in property management can significantly impact service. It's important to understand the various factors contributing to these changes:
Career Progression: Talented individuals seeking advancement opportunities.
Life Events: Temporary changes due to maternity leave.
Family Relocation: Personal circumstances necessitating a move.
Commute Challenges: Long or difficult commutes leading to job dissatisfaction.
Workplace Culture: Poor cultural fit or unsupportive work environments.
Industry Demands: High-pressure nature of property management.
Understanding these factors is key to addressing turnover and creating a stable team. At Marshall White, we've developed strategies to mitigate these issues and ensure continuity of service.
