Although significant headway has been made in recognising the need to improve mental health in the property management sector, Hermione Hart called on the industry to roll its sleeves up to get the ball fully rolling. In line with the Mental Health Awareness Month, the director of Sidekick sits down with Grace Ormsby and Sadhana Smiles to discuss how conversations around burnout and work-related stress in the industry have changed in recent years and enumerate the common obstacles she encountered that hinder talks about mental wellness. And while Hermione acknowledges that hitting targets — be it sales, office expansion, profits or rent rolls — continues to be the bread and butter of any property management business, she explains how overlooking workplace mental wellbeing can hurt a business' bottom line in more ways than one. In this episode, you will hear:

• Why happy property managers equate to happy clients
• How to help prevent your staff from going to "burnout town"
• What support systems and machinations should be in place to bolster mental health in the workplace
