Megan Bissett Offers Innovative Insights for Talent Management
In the fast-paced world of property, particularly, fostering an inclusive and supportive workplace is critical for success.
As businesses contend with evolving employee expectations and the demands of a diverse workforce, leaders must find innovative ways to build workplace cultures that engage, support, and retain top talent.
Enter Megan Bissett, Organisational Psychologist, Includability Ambassador and Co-Founder of Cword, who is reshaping how companies approach workplace culture and climate. Megan specialises in Inclusion, Diversity, Equity, and Accessibility (IDEA) and focuses on developing trauma-informed workplaces. Her insights are invaluable for businesses aiming to enhance their recruitment and retention strategies in an increasingly competitive market.
The Importance of Culture and Climate in Real Estate Workplaces
Megan identifies two critical aspects of the workplace:
- Culture – The atmosphere cultivated by leadership and management.
- Climate – The day-to-day experience of employees on the ground.
While leadership may intend to create a positive and inclusive culture, the actual experiences of front-line employees often tell a different story. Aligning these two perspectives helps ensure a cohesive and supportive work environment.
Measuring Engagement and Identifying Issues in PBSA Teams
Employee engagement is a cornerstone of successful talent management. Megan’s use of AI-driven analysis tools to measure workplace culture and climate can offer real estate businesses invaluable insights. These tools scan workplace policies and employee communications to identify issues like:
- Low job satisfaction
- Frustration or disengagement
- Ineffective management practices
Using the PBSA sector as an example; managing student accommodations requires responsive, motivated, and well-supported staff. By addressing engagement issues early, PBSA managers can improve tenant satisfaction, reduce staff turnover, and ensure smooth operations.
Trust and Privacy in Data Analysis
Megan emphasises the importance of trust and privacy when analysing workplace communications. Real estate professionals, from front of house staff to property managers, need to feel safe and supported. Cword’s system anonymises data, ensuring that feedback is honest and free from fear of reprisal. This approach helps real estate businesses gather meaningful insights while maintaining a culture of trust.
Enhancing ED&I and Accessibility Goals
Prioritising Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion (ED&I) is more than just a compliance requirement—it’s a competitive advantage. Megan’s work supports ED&I goals by:
- Identifying real-time issues affecting workplace culture
- Creating more inclusive and accessible environments
- Ensuring all employees feel valued and supported
By focusing on these goals, HR Managers can foster a workplace that attracts top talent, reduces turnover, and enhances operational efficiency.
