Mastering Property Management: Essential Steps for Thorough Staffing and Oversight

In today’s world of Housekeeping and Property Overseeing and Attention, it is now more important than ever that upon hiring fresh staffing in all arenas of the property, including homes and other buildings on the property, that all new hires are thoroughly checked out with appropriate references for legality and background checking. All references should be thoroughly followed through and scrupulously checked whether in writing or by verbal confirmation.

Whether you are the owner or the principal in question, it falls upon you or a delegated individual of your choosing – whether it be office help, friend or agency, to follow through and it doesn’t hurt to get the assistance of your legal team to become involved in this arena.

Upon hiring, once more seek the advice of your legal team and provide the new hire with a written contract that they should sign in your presence and be given a copy immediately at the same time and have them sign off on this documentation.

If your new hire has passed all the necessary requirements and before hiring, it can be useful to have them perform a short work performance, especially if equipment is required for usage on the job. Make sure that this person speaks good English and understands how to use your equipment whether it be indoors - vacuum cleaners, or outdoors - lawn machinery etc.
