The privately owned company I work for has not changed quarterly bonus structure in many years & I’m curious what others are doing. Currently our company gives a flat bonus to Community Manager & Leasing Manager when NOI goal is reached. Does not give commission on new leases & renewals or to Maintenance Supervisor, as I’ve done before with previous employers.
I absolutely think bonuses are a great incentive but I think it has to be recognized properties many properties are not performing due to all the increases in expenses and higher delinquency , bad debt and vacancy . End of the day the cash flow is a business plan. If Cash flow is not happening , we can’t expect ownership to pay out of pocket for bonuses . It does suck but it is the hard truth .
It’s amusing to hear complaints about increases in cost having offered free help to lower corp IT cost by 30% to virtually every NMHC50 and large TX operators with no takers. Apparently they’re good overpaying. Tough for cash cow industry leaders to accept help that could benefit employees 😔
