Real Estate Standards Organization (RESO)’s Post

As the year comes to a close, I can’t help but reflect on what 2024 has meant for us at Food For Education, especially when it comes to employee engagement. Our team is the heartbeat of everything we do, and their dedication is what fuels our mission to create lasting impact for the children and communities we serve. Truly, when people feel engaged, connected, and valued, they bring their whole selves to work - and that’s where the magic happens! Driving engagement isn’t just a box to tick- it’s about nurturing a culture where belonging, purpose, and connection thrive; and building a team that feels seen, valued, and inspired to bring their best every single day. This year, we leaned into some simple (but truly impactful) actions that have made all the difference: ✨ Listening deeply: We opened up more spaces to hear our team—through performance conversations, townhalls, employee satisfaction surveys, team check-ins, and even those casual chats that turn into powerful conversations that inform business process. ✨ Celebrating our people: From shining a light on individual wins to cheering on team milestones (all of which absolutely blew us away!), we showed up to recognize and appreciate the contributions that drive our work ✨ Living our values: Whether in the day-to-day grind or moments of team connection, our shared purpose grounded us, kept us resilient, and reminded us why we do what we do. I'm learning that significant impact often occurs not only during grand, dramatic events but more so through small, seemingly insignificant interactions, decisions, and experiences that accumulate over time, gradually shaping team dynamics. Retrospectively, I’m filled with admiration and gratitude for the dedication, energy, resilience, and heart of every team member who has made this journey possible. Cheers to you Nyawira Njoroge CHRP (K) Irene Kimani Betty Maingi Eva Njaaga Mohamed Abdalla Ian Gitonga Precious Mwinzi. Thank you for your active leadership Wairimu Nyandia. Here’s to even greater connection and growth in 2025! 🚀

Great example of how a team works as a single unit over a fairly long time frame. while they're celebrating 3rd anniversary in a new avatar, I have seen them working together as far as my memory serves - more than 10 years for sure. So, what's the mantra to stick together as a team for over a decade 1. Complete autonomy and sense of ownership. Decision making including very strategic ones such as partner selection is done with everyone agreeing to the same. 2. Total transparency - everyone knows everything about the company including access to the CEO's email ( not advocating this as a best practice though 🤣), but nothing can be a greater example of transparency 3. Direct and no nonsense communication style including arguments 4. Complete flexibility in working hours. Family priorities come first for everyone and other team members support the person who needs time away automatically. These are few of my impressions as an outside observer who has seen this team through ups and downs.

Today, we gathered to celebrate the birthday of one of our incredible team member, Naveen. Here’s to many more birthdays, more achievements, and more reasons to celebrate! 🎂Happy Birthday, Naveen! 🎂🎈 #OfficeCelebration #TeamSpirit #HappyBirthday #WorkFamily #CelebrateSuccess #lagran #lagransoftwaresolutions #birthdaywishes #birthday #softwaresolutions

How do you support your team to grow and develop when there is no hierarchical ladder to climb? As a leader, this is one of my biggest challenges. I want my team to feel fulfilled and to achieve personal growth but as a small business with no management structure this isn't as simple as becoming a Senior this or Head of that. Yes we can offer skills development. They can become even better at delivering great UX insight and accessibility services. But what about other growth areas? The relationships we have? How they feel about themselves? Yesterday, we all stepped out of our comfort zones and with the help of the amazing Sammy Burt explored our development edges. For me, I've learnt how much value I put in productivity. I pride myself on getting stuff done and producing an output, a report, something that shows what I've been doing with my time. But there is also value in taking time to step back and review our long term marketing strategy. To invest in the relationships I have with our clients. To spend time with my family. And I don't need to feel guilty about any of that. And that feels like growth. While there is a way to go, learning that growth can take many different forms feels like a great achievement. Whether it's learning a new skill, experiencing a mindset shift or nurturing a new relationship I hope the team all find something that brings them fulfilment.

In a world where the career path and trajectory is like a gold medal, Kate holds the platinum one. Coming into our world as temp receptionist, straight out of Uni 14 years ago, she asked the questions to understand why the business was doing what we were doing, what my meetings I attended were trying to achieve and how she could support. Naturally curious, with a gentle but commercial approach, she quickly fast tracked into my PA, EA, business assistant and now Director of Operations. Kate is always steps ahead of me, ensuring the strategy is front and centre, the team have the tools and support they need for excellence, and is focused but flexible as needed! Fiercely capable, yet calmly present, what a journey so far Kate! 🌟🌟 And for all those young school and university leavers ready to build a career, this is what it about, when you get a job/internship/work experience…be curious, stay engaged and ask questions and you will start to make your mark. With three young adults at home I say the same to them, they don’t listen to me… they listen to Kate! 💪🏼 If anyone has young people who want advice or support stepping into the working world, just reach out, ask Kate! 🙌🏼 #career #internship #mentor #support #operations #business
