RMK Management has worked overtime during the pandemic to keep properties fully staffed and frontline employees happy, including at Elevate, a new 270-unit luxury apartment building with resort-style amenities the firm manages in Madison, Wis.  


Like most sectors of the economy, the real estate industry is not immune to staffing challenges as we approach almost year two of the pandemic. When Multifamily Executive decided to cover how real estate firms are retaining and attracting workforce talent in today’s climate, we connected the reporter with Taylor Johnson client RMK Management, which manages 30 properties and more than 6,350 units across Illinois, Indiana, Minnesota and Wisconsin. As outlined in the resulting story, RMK had a number of suggestions on how to address some common struggles among management firms, such as finding the right candidates quickly for frontline roles and adjusting salaries and bonuses to attract and retain employees. Read more here about strategies major multifamily management firms are employing to navigate the industry's workforce challenges.
