Day in the Life

Each division operates according to a regimented business operating platform. Community Success teams follow the Assess, Plan, Act (APA) operating platform that involves 2 short stand-up meetings and 3 team meetings totaling a max of 20% of the work week. Each meeting is focused on assessing performance, planning for issues, and acting on those issues. Community Success teams are guided by a comprehensive Business Plan that is updated quarterly and broken down into daily tasks via the Daily Action Plan (DAP). The Community Manager prepares and executes the Daily Action Plan in order to achieve the Business Plan goals. 20% of the work week is spent planning and executing the DAP. The remaining 60% of the work week is spent as customer service for team members, residents, and the community.
