In an unexpected move, the entire board of the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (RICS) resigned en masse on Monday, prompting a mass walkout of staff members. The move has left many in the industry stunned, and has raised questions about the future of the organization.
The RICS is a professional body that sets standards for the surveying and property industry. It is responsible for setting and maintaining standards for surveyors, valuers, and other professionals in the property industry. The board’s resignation comes after months of internal disputes over the direction of the organization.
The resignations have left many in the industry uncertain about the future of the organization. The board’s decision to resign en masse has been met with criticism from some members of the organization, who have accused them of abandoning their responsibilities. The resignations have also raised questions about the organization’s ability to continue to provide services to its members.
The resignations have also sparked a wave of protests from staff members, who have staged a mass walkout in protest of the board’s decision. The protests have been led by the RICS’ staff union, which has accused the board of failing to listen to their concerns. The union has called for an independent inquiry into the board’s decision, and has demanded that the board be held accountable for its actions.
The resignations have also prompted some members of the organization to call for a change in leadership. Many have argued that the current leadership is not capable of leading the organization in the right direction. They have called for a new board to be appointed, one that is more representative of the organization’s members and better able to address their concerns.
The resignations have left many in the industry wondering what will happen next. It is unclear what will happen to the organization in the wake of the board’s resignations, and it remains to be seen how it will affect its members and its services. For now, all eyes are on the RICS as it navigates this uncertain period.
