As a mid-size firm that prides itself on having a “family-feel,” Acadia Realty Trust realized that it would benefit from developing more discipline on the “people side” of its business. So Acadia turned to McBassi & Company to help it develop a systematic and rigorous understanding of its strengths, weaknesses, and risks with regard to managing and developing its people. Detailed and confidential feedback was solicited both from Acadia’s high potential employees and senior executive team to create an “audit,” complete with recommendations for Acadia to optimize its significant talent base through the recession and beyond.
