Strata industry shakeup

Strata Management is proving to be an interesting and difficult to navigate industry during the global pandemic. Firms have faced the same pressures as other businesses, trying to get large workforce's to provide a high-quality service while working remotely. Strata firms are not immune to financial challenges and stresses during the pandemic. If anything, the workload has risen immensely for body corporate/owners corporation managers. But one difference is they are now facing issues as some owners in bodies corporate are struggling financially and yet expecting the full service for free. The client facing staff are experiencing stressful workloads with a negative sentiment from those they are providing a service to. Now this is obviously not every client, others have presented some positive,F community spirit – showing a lot of appreciation for their managers.

With such a rise in workload, a negative perception from clients who may not fully grasp how the strata industry operates and their own business impacts – strata firms are facing a make or break moment. While they want to show a lot of empathy, without getting paid, they may fall. One business consulting/outsourcing firm has been the saving grace for helping some of Australia’s leading strata firms stay on top.
