Taking Care of Our Associates

GABLES LEADERSHIP INSTITUTE The Gables Leadership Institute (GLI) is a year-long blended learning program centered around developing the high potential talent at Gables and preparing them as future leaders of the company. Each GLI applicant participates in a rigorous process to be admitted including sponsorship from a Gables officer.

The first GLI class began in October of 2013 and contained a cross-functional representation of Gables’ corporate and on-site leaders. The GLI leadership program consists of four separate training sessions facilitated by renowned subject matter experts in their field. Each session of GLI focuses on a different attribute of becoming a leader.

The results are fantastic. Three of the twelve participants are from Gables Corporate Accommodations.

RECRUITING Gables Residential is committed to hiring high caliber talent. In 2014, our recruitment team served on the NAAEI Careers Committee, guest lectured at postgraduate level property management courses, and provided mentorship to high school students considering the industry. Career fairs were attended at University of Georgia, University of Texas, University of Maryland, American University, and more.

In addition, Gables supported Veteran recruitment efforts by asking Veterans and their family members to “join our ranks” while participating in fairs in Atlanta, Houston, and the DC metro area this year.

MOVE FOR HUNGER In 2015, GCA has focused our philanthropic efforts on Move for Hunger, a hunger relief organization that works with relocation companies like GCA to collect food items and deliver it to food banks across North America. GCA leaves a flyer in every GCA apartment home encouraging our residents to leave any non-perishable food items in a provided bag at the end of their stay to donate to the cause.

Snack boxes are provided to each guest from Love with Food. Each box contains unique, hard-to-find tasty snacks which varies based on seasonal themes. For every box sold, Love with Food donates a meal to several food banks such as the Feeding America Network and Share Our Strength - No Kid Hungry.

Thanks for all your help. We love to work with Gables!”

The Gables team is truly

exceptional! I have always found them to have a high level of customer service whether it be when I was a corporate Global Mobility Leader, RMC provider, or staying myself in one of their corporate apartments. They go above and beyond to ensure the transferee has a smooth transition into their apartments and are always quick to react if something needs fixing. I will continue to use Gables and refer them to friends and corporate clients.”

It was so refreshing and comforting to know
