Turn Down Days 2024

What Are Turn Down Days?

Turn Down Dayzzz is a special initiative designed to give back to the full-time team members who contribute so much to the success of Turn. During Turn, SQuad members work around the clock to ensure properties are ready for incoming residents, handling everything from maintenance coordination to leasing operations. This high-energy period is vital to our operations, but it can also be incredibly demanding. The long hours, attention to detail, and focus on delivering a seamless resident experience often leave little room for relaxation.

To acknowledge this hard work and commitment, we’ve introduced Turn Down Days—two extra days off in September for all full-time team members who participated in Turn this year. It’s a chance for the team to rest, recharge, and focus on their well-being.

Why Turn Down Days Matter

Turn season is not only physically demanding but also mentally and emotionally draining. SQuad members pour their energy into ensuring that every detail is perfect for our residents, from preparing units to organizing move-ins and resolving last-minute issues. This can take a toll, which is why Turn Down Days have become such a valued part of our company culture.

These two additional days off serve as a way for our team to step back, breathe, and refuel. We encourage everyone to use this time in whatever way best supports their well-being. Whether it’s catching up on sleep, spending time with loved ones, or simply enjoying some much-needed quiet time, the goal is for SQuad members to return feeling refreshed and ready for the next phase of the year.

Reconnecting with What Matters

Turn Down Days are more than just time off—they’re an opportunity for our team to reconnect with what matters most. For some, this might mean spending quality time with family and friends, who may not have seen much of them during the hectic Turn period. For others, it’s a chance to engage in hobbies, take a trip, or simply enjoy some downtime with a good book or favorite show. And let’s not forget our furry companions—Turn Down Days are a perfect time to give those pets some extra love and attention!

We recognize that each team member has their unique way of unwinding, and we fully support them in using these days to focus on self-care, however that looks for them.

Looking Ahead: The Future of Turn Down Dayzzz

As we bring back Turn Down Dayzzz in 2024, we’re looking forward to making this initiative an ongoing tradition. We want our SQuad members to feel supported year-round, and we believe these extra days off during September set the tone for a positive and balanced work culture.

In the coming years, we plan to continue refining this initiative, exploring additional ways we can support the well-being of our team, especially during busy times like Turn season. Our commitment to our employees is as strong as our commitment to our residents, and we believe Turn Down Days are just one of the many ways we can show our appreciation for everything our SQuad does.

A Big Thank You to the SQuad

To all of our amazing SQuad members: Thank you for your incredible work during Turn! Your dedication, teamwork, and passion have made a real difference, and we couldn’t be prouder of everything you’ve accomplished. As we roll out Turn Down Dayzzz for another year, we hope each of you takes full advantage of this well-earned time off. Here’s to rest, relaxation, and reconnecting with what matters most—because you’ve certainly earned it!

Turn Down Days are more than just a perk—they’re a reflection of how much we value our team at Student Quarters. With gratitude and excitement, we look forward to seeing how you recharge and come back even stronger for the year ahead.
