\n<\/picture>\n<\/a><\/p>\nOur HiRUM team is comprised of many different people in many different roles. Each of our departments is crucial to the way we do business, and the daily operations that help our clients receive the results they desire. Most of our staff come from working front line in the hospitality industry, so we know the needs and wants for successful operations that make property management life easier. This month we thought we would introduce you to our onboarding team.<\/p>\n
HiRUM\u2019s Onboarding Team was put in place to ensure all clients coming across to HiRUM feel comfortable using our software, get the proper training they need and have a dedicated support member to help them every step of the way. The 3-month onboarding program aims to alleviate some of the overwhelming stress that can come with a new property, a new career in management rights or changing software providers.<\/p>\n
Lucinda (Onboarding Specialist) & Francois (Office & Client Service Manager) are our dynamic duo of our Onboarding team, dedicated to each and every new client of HiRUM. We thought it was time for everyone to see who they are and get to understand more of what they do on a daily!<\/p>\n
