In the apartment industry, unit turnover is fast and furious. Often, some properties have only a week to prepare units for new residents. The Collier Companies has over forty-five apartments in Florida, Georgia, and Oklahoma. The staff at each Collier community has a limited amount of time to clean and prepare their entire property for the line of new tenants. After each ‘turn’ the company has a large party thanking the hardworking staff, and awarding those ‘stars’ that make turn a success. This year, The Collier Companies had three Turn Star parties covering all six regions. Awards were given to team members and vendors who received a nomination by their fellow team members. Award recipients receive a certificate showing their achievement.
