Sometimes, people think the grass is greener on the other side. That's not ALWAYS true!
In honor of Pride Month, we invited all our associates to listen in on a live discussion around some of our associate's journeys in leadership. Centered around our core values, grounded in inclusivity, compassion in the workplace, and creating safe spaces, this incredible panel discussed a wide range of topics. Thank you to Shaun, JD, Amanda, Kathryn, and Justin for sharing your authentic stories with all of us. It opened the eyes of many of our associates, and for that, we are forever grateful.
We are making a commitment to our clients, residents, and our associates, to simplify more every day. This is what we already do, and aspire to do more!
We are excited to announce that FirstService Residential has just been certified as a Great Place to Work® in both the U.S. and Canada!

Making up half of the FirstService Residential workforce, women at all levels and positions are a valued and influential associate group helping drive our company's culture and success. FirstService Residential is observing Women's History Month this March throughout all our regions in the U.S. and Canada. Let's make it a point to take the time to learn more about the women who have made history and who are making history! The women who have impacted our lives at work and home. The women who worked tirelessly to achieve milestones that we celebrate today. Thank you to FirstService Residential for making it possible to have open discussions about Diversity and Inclusion!

What a year! FirstService Residential has much to be proud of as we close out 2022. We learned a lot from one another and grew stronger as a team.

The collaboration, culture, camaraderie, and relationships are unlike any other. "It takes a village", as they say, to be THIS good. Here we come, 2023!

Our team in Florida completed 22 weeks of Spanish classes! We are so proud of this team! Our Executive Director, Kim Twiss, said "I'm SUPER proud of them.
