So that your employees receive the right working conditions to thrive in their work, you can already take into account the strengths and weaknesses of your colleagues individually when distributing tasks and structuring your team. Real estate agents and assistants can be assigned specifically to the areas in which they have the greatest experience. If you would like to expand the ambitions of an employee in a specific activity, first assign smaller tasks in this segment to their list of responsibilities or let them sit with another colleague. This way, not only does the respective employee gain a broader range of skills piece by piece, but the flexibility of your team also increases overall. Since you as a franchisee at Engel & Völkers retain all the freedom you need to manage your team, there are no limits to employee development through such “learning-on-the-job” experiences.
In any professional collaboration, sooner or later conflict situations arise in which professional views or expectations of employees collide. Instead of seeing such problems as hurdles or even moments of failure, as a managing director you can use the associated opportunities for employee development in your real estate company. The results of a project have fallen short of your expectations? Together with your colleagues, identify the possible problem areas and develop a strategy for how these can be avoided in the future. An employee is dissatisfied with their job profile? Consider swapping his position with that of a colleague in order to expand the work spectrum of both employees with a positive effect. You realize: The potential that lies in such conflict situations can be of great value for employee development in your company. Engel & Völkers recommends its franchisees to take advantage of such opportunities as specifically as possible. At the same time, however, you can also consciously express praise or give bonuses for special achievements in situations in which your team has performed well. That too can contribute to the development of greater motivation and productivity of your employees!
Another important component of employee development in your real estate agent company are further training courses and seminars. Especially in the real estate industry, whose regional market structures and trends are subject to constant change, updating your team's specialist knowledge is of great importance. You should therefore provide a sufficient time quota for such further training opportunities both for your employees and for yourself in order to ensure competitiveness with other providers in your region. With the Engel & Völkers Academy, we have created a central point for further training that is open to both our license partners and their employees. In numerous training courses, which include the areas of shop management, real estate management and office assistance, all relevant skills for your business can be trained and valuable knowledge can be deepened. The combination of online learning content and face-to-face events ensures an interactive and time-efficient learning experience that can be profitably integrated into your everyday work.
