📢 Property Managers: 5 Must-Ask Questions to Boost Your Building 🌆 Managing a property today is no small feat. But the right partners will help your building operate at peak efficiency. PRO TIP: These questions aren’t just for property managers—they’re relevant for anyone vetting suppliers or partners in any industry! 🔑 1. “How Do You Ensure Consistent Quality?" ✨ Your building is your reputation—so is it spotless every time? Tech-driven quality assurance with real-time reporting is a game-changer. 2. "Can You Scale as Our Needs Grow?" 🏢 🏤 Your building is evolving, or your property portfolio is expanding. Can your provider grow with you without service gaps? A strong supplier partnership and flexibility are key to seamless operations. 3. “Are You Using Eco-Friendly Solutions?" 🌱 Sustainability isn’t just a buzzword. In 2024, it’s essential. Ensure your provider is committed to eco-friendly practices that benefit your property, business ESG goals, and the planet. 4. “How Do You Handle Emergencies?" 🚨 Things happen, including when you least expect them. How fast does your supplier respond when they do? Easy leadership team access and 24/7 or other extended client support and resources ensure you’re covered. 5. “Can You Enhance Our Efficiency?" 💡 Building maintenance goes beyond clean floors. From energy savings to staffing levels and troubleshooting, your provider should be ready to help you optimize your building or specific project in every way possible.

🌍 #WorldKindnessDay: The Simple Superpower Every Leader Needs 🌍 In today's workplace, kindness isn't just a nice trait; it's a catalyst for success and leadership. Leaders who prioritize kindness see tangible results: they earn respect, inspire loyalty, and develop higher-performing teams. The 2023 APA "Work in America" survey and a 2015 study from Georgetown University and the Grenoble School of Management found that workplace kindness has powerful effects. Leaders who act empathetically aren't just more respected — they increase team performance and build lasting morale. In fact, the APA survey found that 57% of employees feel more motivated when they are treated with kindness and respect. Here's why kindness is a must-have skill for modern business and workplace leadership: 💛 Kindness builds trust — trusted leaders inspire others to speak up, share ideas, and collaborate. 💛 Kindness makes a leader memorable — respect and empathy are qualities people want to follow and collaborate with. 💛 Kindness boosts performance — civility encourages a culture of support and open communication, helping our teams perform at their best. Kindness is a leader's strength — it's how we show commitment to our teams, our community, and a sustainable future. Leading with empathy doesn't just feel good; it's part of ESG, creating an equitable, positive environment where people thrive. 4 Actionable Ways to Demonstrate Kindness at Work — Today and Daily 💫 1. Share a Positive Review or Testimonial: Recognize a job well done by publicly praising a team member, supplier, or client. A specific review or testimonial boosts morale, highlights effort, and strengthens professional relationships. 💫 2. Invest Time to Really Listen: Make time for your team and clients to express their thoughts and feedback. Active listening shows you care, opens the door for improvement, and strengthens your working relationships. 💫 3. Send a "Thank-You" or "Congratulations" Note or Card: Show gratitude to a colleague or supplier who went the extra mile by sending a personal note that goes beyond a quick "Thanks" via email, text, or Slack. This genuine gesture reinforces their value and encourages continued collaboration. 💫 4. Mentor or Share Knowledge: Be generous with your expertise. Offer to support or guide a team member, co-worker, or client juggling a challenge. Your investment in their progress reflects both leadership and empathy. This World Kindness Day, please join us at Innovation Building Maintenance Inc. in making active kindness your leadership style and an ESG mission. Kindness isn't an extra; it's essential for leaders who want to make a genuine difference. Let's all #BeKind #Leadership #MakeADifference #ESG #PositiveVibes #WorkplaceCulture #SustainableBusiness #PropertyManagement #CommercialRealEstate

🎃 7 Cleaning and Maintenance Habits You Can Ghost for Good! 👻 Happy Halloween to everyone celebrating! As we wrap up the spooky season and gear up for the busy year-end holiday rush, it's time to banish the cleaning and maintenance habits that could haunt your offices, retail space, or condo building. 1. 🧴Excessive Chemical and Product Use: Boost your cleaning routine by switching to eco-friendly, multi-purpose, biodegradable cleaners. Check that your on-site staff is measuring correctly to save and avoid unwanted product build-up. 2. 🔍 Missing "Hidden" Surfaces: Ensure your cleaning checklists and room routines cover often-overlooked areas like vents, ceiling fans, ledges, and baseboards. (Ask us about high dusting!) 3. 📅 Skipping a Deep Cleaning Schedule: Keep your environment pristine and inviting for employees and clients while maintaining costly capex investments, like flooring! Remember to schedule regular upholstery, carpet, window and other intensive cleaning. 4. 🧽 Neglecting Tools: Ensure that mops, microfibre cloths, vacuums, and all your equipment are well maintained to prevent the re-spreading of germs and dirt. 5.🔍 Forgetting Inspections: Maintain regular walk-throughs and cross-check schedules to catch quality assurance or maintenance issues before they escalate. 🛠️ Plan Ahead: Don't wait for spring—schedule your outdoor maintenance reviews now! A proactive plan for regular exterior cleaning, painting, and outdoor maintenance is worth the up-front work. 6. 🌧️ Ignoring Environmental and Systemic Risks: Install smart sensors to detect leaks and moisture levels for rapid response and protection against water damage. 7. 🤒 Helping Keep Your Building Healthy: Flu and virus season is back. Evaluate your disinfection routines to effectively protect your space, staff, and occupants. Regularly reviewing cleaning and maintenance protocols to address seasonal shifts and concerns is also a good idea. 💀 Don't let lingering cleaning or maintenance issues keep you up at night!
