Community Living 101: Quality and Pride

An empty candy wrapper is laying on the floor of your building's foyer. What would be the best course of action?

  A. Pick up and properly dispose of the wrapper in the nearest garbage receptacle?

  B. Call Hallmark & Johnson to alert them that the janitorial staff is slacking on their duties?

  C. Leave it for someone else to take care of?

  D. What candy wrapper?

While property upkeep is a primary role of our janitorial staff, we as owners and community members have a greater stake in Winhood's appearance because we are invested and are living on the premises. The janitors are on a carefully-planned schedule to maximize manpower. For example, trash is emptied once a day so that other duties are not neglected. Snow, on the other hand, may have to be cleared several times a day, depending on the ever-changing weather, to help us avoid potential accidents and even lawsuits.

To attract other conscientious buyers and neighbors, the image we project says a lot about how we feel about Win-Hood Homes. Ignoring blights and eyesores can give the impression that we don't care, and can attract more of the same, leading to a decline in quality and ownership pride.
