A new CondoBusiness article by Managemate founder Salim Dharssi explains why the single-manager condo model is collapsing. Labour shortages and rising workloads are forcing a shift to team-based management supported by shared systems like Managemate.
CondoBusiness has published a new feature written by our founder, Salim Dharssi, on the rapid collapse of the “single manager” condo staffing model and why the industry is being forced toward a team-based approach.
For years, condos relied on individual managers juggling everything from daily operations to long-range planning. Managers did this by maintaining their own private mix of spreadsheets, email folders, and to do lists. With labour shortages and rising workloads, that structure is no longer sustainable. It breaks down the moment a manager is overloaded, sick, or changes properties.
The article goes deeper into why team-based management is becoming the only viable model. Shared responsibility results in the following:
But none of this works without a shared work management system. Teams can’t run on scattered spreadsheets and siloed email trails. They need standardized workflows, transparent records, and a reporting system that automatically captures updates across tools and generates reports on their progress.
This is exactly the gap Managemate was designed to close.
