Three years ago, Greystar started supplier compliance reporting to focus our attention on leveraging our size to ensure we have best-in-class pricing and quality from our suppliers. We created a Mighty 90s club for team members who achieve a 90% spend compliance across five key categories: MRO, Flooring, Waste Hauling, Paint, and Appliances.
The “Be the Mightiest” contest winners for 2020 will be determined by Andrew Livingstone and the US Property Management leadership team. The winning RPMs will be selected by looking holistically at several factors, with a significant weight placed on the national supplier compliance data, as well as looking at each portfolio and how the team member reflects our Pillars and Core Values. Prizes will range from $1,000 for 10th place to $10,000 for 1st place.
