Building a Strong HR Foundation:

A Treehouse for Success in Self-Storage

Managing a self-storage business, especially one with multiple locations, is a lot like building a treehouse. Just like every plank, nail, and beam has its purpose in creating a safe and reliable structure, running a business requires assembling the right essential elements—compliance, HR, employee benefits, and more — each piece is essential to building a business that’s both functional and scalable.

Compliance: The Solid Base
Compliance forms the base of a treehouse build— the foundation that keeps everything stable and secure. When you operate across multiple states, each one has its own regulations, from labor laws to safety requirements. Missing a piece here can destabilize your whole operation. By staying organized with regular compliance checks and expert support, you can ensure your business stands firm, no matter how many locations you have.

HR: The Connecting Framework
Think of HR as the framework that holds your treehouse together, connecting every part of your business. With a strong HR and business operations strategy, you can make your locations more efficient and manageable. Whether it’s creating consistent communication or fostering unified practices across locations or states, your HR practices need to adapt to fit your needs, allowing you to build a reliable, scalable business.

Benefits: The Unique Finishes
To make your self-storage company stand out, employee benefits are like the creative finishes that make a treehouse special. They can be more standard, such as medical benefits and PTO, or more creative perks—such as flexible schedules, wellness programs, and employee recognition. Offering benefits is a powerful way to attract and retain talent while addressing the challenge of high employee turnover, a frequent issue in this industry. It’s the attention to detail that helps your workplace not only function well but also grow.
