The Most Valuable Asset: Expanding the CRE Talent Pool

A commercial real estate blog post for NAIOP
POSTED ON SEPTEMBER 29, 2021 BY ROCHELLE BRODER-SINGER
To address its ongoing talent shortage, the commercial real estate industry must look outside of traditional recruiting avenues and consider people with nontraditional career paths.
Ten years ago, great employees seemed much easier to find – an organization might find three excellent candidates for any one open position. Today, it can feel like there are no great candidates available.
“I know we’re all dealing with labor shortages,” said Celeste Tanner, chief development officer at Confluent Development, during CRE.Converge 2021 in Miami Beach, Florida. Given how busy most of the industry is, she added, it is tempting to look for talent through what she called “the path of least resistance” – often a local university’s real estate program. While university programs remain an important source of commercial real estate talent, companies need to develop many other pipelines.

A commercial real estate blog post for NAIOP
When it opened between 2002 and 2004, Pittsburgh’s SouthSide Works was lauded as a retail destination that would revitalize the former brownfield site of the historic J&L Steel Works. It was at the forefront of the live-work-play movement. But by early 2020, the retail space was just 7% leased, although it had solid anchors, including REI and Urban Outfitters.
That’s what commercial real estate investor and developer SomeraRoad was working with when it became majority owner and operator of the 34-acre property, after acquiring its defaulted loans during 2018.

Commercial real estate and construction have been notoriously slow to adopt new technologies. But digital transformation is coming to the industry. At CRE.Converge 2021 in Miami Beach, experts discussed how several new technologies are affecting developers, builders and owners:
Reality capture technologies allow you to see and/or record what’s happening at a job site, whether remotely or in-person. This includes robots, drones and various automated cameras, as well as sensors and other data-gathering devices – all connected to the internet.

A blog post for Marcus Lemonis’s website, marcuslemonis.com

I’m going to be straightforward here: Success doesn’t happen overnight – for anyone. And that’s okay, because slow and steady work leads to success that is sustainable in a way that nothing “overnight” can match.
Recent history is filled with highly successful people who worked hard for years before achieving their dreams. Take James Dyson, of the vacuum cleaners and hand dryers. He changed the vacuum industry and is working to change other industries as well. But he spent 15 years going through more than 5,000 failed prototypes before creating his first successful vacuum cleaner.

Press release for Out Boulder County
VIEW ON THE OUT BOULDER COUNTY WEBSITE
Out Boulder County has completed what may be the nation’s first survey of COVID-19 vaccine reluctance among LGBTQ people. The survey offers a look into the attitudes of a community that has often gone unseen in public health efforts because information about sexual orientation and gender identity is rarely collected in federal, state or local health data. For example, there are no questions about sexual orientation or gender identity on the U.S. Census, and the Department of Health and Human Services rarely collects this information in its public health surveys or other data gathering.
“If LGBTQ people are not identified in data collection, we cannot be seen by public health agencies, hospital systems and other health care organizations,” said Mardi Moore, executive director of Out Boulder County, which provides advocacy, services, programs and support to Boulder County’s LGBTQ communities. “If they don’t see us, we don’t exist, and getting resources allocated to us is nearly impossible. Sexual orientation and gender identity have to be part of the data that health organizations collect,” she added.

New Women Executive Leadership Series for All Genders Provides Opportunity to Hear How Others Approach Critical Issues
August 03, 2021 11:06 ET | Source: Women Executive Leadership, Inc.
FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla., Aug. 03, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Women Executive Leadership (WEL), a nonprofit dedicated to gender parity in the boardroom and the C-suite, has expanded its programming to offer Boardroom Briefings for members of public and private company Boards of Directors. These invitation-only briefings bring together experts and board members of all genders to delve into important topics being discussed in boardrooms.
The first Boardroom Briefing, held July 13, brought together directors from more than two dozen companies in an open dialogue with each other and an expert on environmental, social and governance (ESG) topics. Participants noted that the conversations and connection with directors from other companies were invaluable.
The Boardroom Briefings, run by WEL’s new Advocacy Committee, are a natural extension of the organization’s work. For more than 20 years, WEL has empowered women leaders with a variety of training and preparation to advance their careers, position themselves to join boards of directors and connect with potential board opportunities.

By Rochelle Broder-Singer
Until seven years ago, the cover of BusinessMiami, the alumni magazine of the University of Miami School of Business Administration, most often bore a photograph of one or more of the alumni or faculty members featured in that given issue. Sure, we tried to keep it intriguing, posing the individual in a context associated with his or her specialty — say a search and rescue worker in uniform with her canine partners, or health care MBA students and alumni in their lab coats. But too often we had to work with business people in business attire in business settings. Yawn.
