Upward On’s Post

Yesterday’s Tuesday Tip about maintaining a healthy workplace got a lot of people talking. So it got me to thinking, how do you know if you’re the toxic one at work? As a recruiter, I hear both sides of the story. Employers who vent about employees being entitled, uncaring, lazy, and sometimes incompetent. And employees who complain about petty office politics, mean girl/mean boy drama, bosses who give no direction, passive/aggressive messaging, and lack of boundaries in off hours. While both sides may have merit at times, I do see some areas where there is a lack of understanding and a chance for rehabilitation. After all, you liked each other when you interviewed. We can fix those minor issues. Some notes below: 📈Employers: Understand that your employee is working hard. Often times we don’t realize how much time a task may take and have unrealistic expectations. 💼Employees: log your tasks/time spent on them. 📈Employers: Have clear directives for your employees. If you don’t like the way something is done, be specific as to what you want/need. 💼Employees: don’t take direction or criticism personally. Identify your common goal and ask questions so you can hone in on producing a favorable outcome. 📈Employers: Respect your employees’ time. Everyone deserves to recharge their batteries at the end of the day and having your staff stretched so thin can only go so far. When your employee expresses concern, listen to them. Everyone works better when they can rest and refuel. 💼Employees: Work efficiently. I sometimes hear people complain about being overworked yet they will spend 30 minutes chatting with a colleague or on a call. If you do work overtime, talk to your boss about recouping some of that time when the project is over. Most problems can be solved with honest and clear communication. I don’t think the solution is always quitting or firing someone. Fixing it is cost effective and creates long term personal and professional growth!

Tuesday Tips! 🌟 Is your workplace healthy? A healthy workplace thrives on collaboration between teams, appreciation expressed towards others, thoughtful, and efficient meetings with clear communication and work-life balance. On the flip side, a toxic workplace can be identified by unmotivated employees, office drama, and backstabbing. If your workplace feels toxic, it's time to take action! Consider bringing in an outside unbiased party to help get your team back on track. Remember, no one wants to work in an environment where they feel undervalued, unhappy, or mistreated. #WorkplaceWellness #TeamCollaboration #HealthyWorkplace

I have the pocket listing of real estate talent. This quote has become synonymous with being the "go-to recruiter in real estate." A pocket listing, or an "off-market" listing in real estate, is always intriguing! In June, I successfully placed four talented individuals in key roles: - Director of Residential Marketing: A remarkable candidate I knew from my extensive experience in Multifamily Leasing and Property Management. - Leasing Director: This candidate, who turned out to be the perfect fit, came from a rejection email for another role. - Asset Manager: I have known this candidate since 2019, and after staying in touch, we found the ideal opportunity for him. - Regional Community Manager: Surprisingly, this candidate responded to a Ziprecruiter ad! #RealEstateRecruitment #TalentAcquisition #OffMarketListings

Back in 2021, I was introduced to Ryan Serhant who had recently opened up his real estate brokerage, SERHANT. They were rapidly expanding and in need of several key hires. To witness this new and dynamic company make a mark in the industry has been so exciting. I got to bring on some incredible people in the past few years at the company. One of my favorite placements was Cody D'Ambrosio as their Head of Studios - their in-house film and production team - which has gone on to win 2 Shorty Awards and an Inman Golden Club award! I recently started watching Ryan's Netflix show, Owning Manhattan, and I love it! Say what you will about reality television, but the numbers don't lie. In less than 4 years, Ryan and his talented agents have built one of the fastest-growing brokerages in NYC, ranking at #6 among a list of industry legends that have been around for decades. As the firm continues to expand nationally, I look forward to seeing more achievements for Ryan, the SERHANT. agents, and the entire team!

*TUESDAY TIPS* Assignments! Have you been on a job search and been asked to complete a task, such as how you’d answer an email, handle a particular issue, draft a report, present a deck, etc? If so, consider yourself lucky! It means the employer is very interested in you and could potentially make an offer! This is the time to take the time and do it well. Be thoughtful. Don’t throw something together. And please, use spell check. You have the chance to show how great you are, so be great! And for employers, if you’re not having prospective employees do brief assignments during the vetting process, I highly suggest you do! Questions/thoughts? Reach out to me at [email protected].
