After a career that spans several decades, I am saddened to see that allegations of sexual harassment are still alive and well in our industry. I would have thought that we could have eliminated these challenges by now.
After having completed my Sexual Harassment Prevention training myself just a couple of weeks ago, a program which is mandated by the state of California, it piqued my interest to find out how many states require sexual harassment prevention training. I was shocked to find out that only seven states (California, Connecticut, Delaware, Illinois, Maine, New York, Washington) and the District of Columbia mandate sexual harassment training for some or all private sector employers and employees today.

SphereBuilder™ marketing automation and analytics now available for select brokerages across the United States.
This week, Collabra Technology, Inc.

Collabra Technologies is now accepting meetings with other technology-forward brokerages and organizations looking for powerful insight into the marketing initiatives of their organization. Over my years in working in real estate marketing technology, I’ve seen (and believed) in a lot of marketing productivity products hitting the market, only to find that many of them fall short of delivering an intuitive, resourceful experience that drives and supports agent adoption, coaching and retention. Collabra Technology’s SphereBuilder platform could be the exception to the rule.

Succession planning is a crucial aspect of any organization, and the real estate industry is no exception. It is no secret that there is a significant talent gap in the industry with aging boomers who have experience and the up and coming leaders that have not yet had chances to be tested. Those new leaders will bring fresh ideas and renewed energy to your organization, if you nurture them. The BATON framework can help real estate organizations ensure that they have a smooth transition of leadership, and that their business continues to thrive for years to come.
