Real estate businesses are all about people, ultimately the quality of your people is your major point of difference in your market place.

As the end of financial year is the close off of your payroll calendar, it is a good time to look all of your packages.

If you strive to be an employer of choice in your market, how you handle your team’s career paths and remuneration is a very strong determining factor.

It is often daunting to drive these changes, and for many business owners saying nothing and dealing with it on a case by case basis is the rule, but leadership requires direction, and efficiency requires process.

Great businesses don’t fight fires all day, they take advantage of clear communication and mutual agreement between the owners and their staff, because it’s healthy for both parties to know where they stand. What better time than the start of a new financial year.
