Six Core Threads of Operational Excellence

 

Improve Morale, Retention, and Productivity AND 

Add Million$ to the Bottom Line 

Did you know Stratvisor offers customized and comprehensive Customer Service Programs, with typical results being improved morale, tenant, resident or employee retention, and productivity that favorably impacts Tenant Retention and relations?

Our programs include a variety of approaches, including our upcoming eLearning for modules for Commercial and Corporate Real Estate.

The Issues

You are a building owner or manager. One or both of these statements apply to you:

  • You need a plan to attract and retain your tenants,and train your employees
  • You need help developing a realistic plan to attain your goals

Losing a tenant can cost nearly 4 times their annual rent when you factor in broker fees, new tenant concessions and improvement dollars.

The Solution

Implementing Customer Service and Retention programs can add considerable value to your building(s).  Operational Excellence is tied to six core threads that lead not only to tenant retention but to increased profitability

Consider this:

  • To implement a Customer Service and Retention program costs only pennies per square foot a year
  • Retaining just one 20,000 sf tenant can save $900K

Now the payoff becomes very clear!

Are You Aligned for Top Performance?

Creating an Efficient, Accountable and Profitable Organizational Design for your Real Estate Department. 

 

It is not unexpected to discover that Corporate Real Estate departments have often developed in a rather ad hoc manner, frequently in direct response to core business space requirements. Before bringing new personnel into an organization many companies first have to follow internal recruitment from within policies. Often as a result of these policies, seniority rather than formal real estate training or experience become leading decision factors in filling key positions in Corporate Real Estate departments. With the continual rise in real estate values, many corporate real estate portfolios have grown into multimillion dollar assets worthy of their own strategy. The new, fast-paced world economy demands far greater agility and more immediate action than ever before. Therefore the need for Corporate Real Estate departments staffed with highly-skilled personnel and aligned with their company’s core business is highly critical.
