Starting in January of 2020, Beach Realty started using a new system to measure our employee's success and reward them appropriately. Part of that initiative includes introducing an employee of the month! Each month our staff takes a vote for who they think deserves recognition. At the end of the year, out of these individuals, an Employee and Manager of the Year are announced! Keep reading to find out who took home the title!
