Boost Productivity in Multifamily

In today's fast-paced business environment, automation has become a key component of successful companies in various industries, including the multifamily sector. By incorporating automation into daily processes, business leaders can enhance productivity, increase efficiency, and foster innovation. In this blog post, we'll explore the benefits of automation for CEOs and other leadership positions in the multifamily industry, as well as the implications for employees across the wage spectrum.

Automation and the CEO's Working Time

According to a McKinsey study, an estimated 20% of a CEO's working time could be automated using current technologies. Tasks such as analyzing reports, sorting through emails, preparing staff assignments, and reviewing status reports can all be streamlined through automation. This not only frees up valuable time for CEOs but also allows them to focus on more strategic and high-impact activities.

As the Chairman of the Multifamily Innovation® Council, I just want to emphasize the importance of automation for leaders. By embracing automation, we empower leaders to focus on what truly matters - building a culture of innovation and driving the success of our multifamily communities.

Productivity Gains at Every Level

Effective business process automation can result in productivity gains at every level of the organization. With the average CEO salary standing at $155k, the financial implications of automating just 20% of a CEO's working time can be quite significant. These gains can be reinvested into the company, contributing to growth and the overall success of the organization.

The Surprising Reality of Lower-Wage Occupations

The McKinsey report also reveals that occupations with lower wages, such as home health aides, landscapers, and maintenance workers, are not necessarily easier to automate with current technologies. This finding underscores the importance of evaluating the potential for automation on a case-by-case basis, rather than making broad assumptions about which roles are most susceptible to being replaced by technology.

Enhancing the Multifamily Workforce Through Automation

Automation can serve as a catalyst for workforce development in the multifamily industry. By automating repetitive and time-consuming tasks, employees can focus on more value-added activities, such as resident satisfaction, community engagement, and skills development. In turn, this can contribute to a more skilled, engaged, and productive workforce across all levels of the organization.

Embracing automation can lead to significant productivity gains and efficiency improvements in the multifamily industry, especially for CEOs and other leadership positions. By automating tasks that do not require human judgment or creativity, business leaders can devote more time to strategic thinking, innovation, and decision-making. Moreover, automation can enhance the skills and capabilities of employees across the wage spectrum, contributing to a more robust and dynamic workforce in the multifamily sector.
