Ep3 | Exploring Maintenance Centralization

Remaking the Resident and Service Team Experience

In the third episode of our Exploring Maintenance Centralization webinar series, HappyCo welcomed Emma Kelly from our Happy Force team to explore the transformative power of maintenance in enhancing resident experiences with our CPO Ben Nowacky. The discussion delves into:

• Evolving expectations for maintenance: how responsive and flexible maintenance solutions are meeting post-pandemic resident expectations.
• Value-added maintenance: approaching  maintenance as more than just a service, but a strategic advantage across portfolios and property classes.
• Impact on resident satisfaction: how specific technology and tools improve resident communication and response times, leading to higher resident retention.
• Increased maintenance team productivity: how AI and automation streamlines maintenance processes and improves service levels.
• Change management in tech adoption: effective strategies for integrating new technologies into existing workflows, ensuring seamless transitions and adoption.
  

Key Takeaways:

• Your maintenance operations can be a strategic differentiator in multifamily - across all property classes.
• Technology enhances resident experience and operational efficiency when leveraged as a multiplier of your onsite teams.
• Effective change management for adopting new maintenance technologies is within reach by listening to your onsite teams and customizing your approach to their specific needs.
