Facilities management and sustainability: a co-dependent relationship?

Earth Day is celebrated on 22nd April each year to raise awareness about environmental issues and to encourage individuals and organisations to take action to protect our planet. This is an urgent and important issue for all of us and for businesses operating today, where both the public and employees expect organisations to take action and to have green credentials. An organisation’s sustainability can also directly contribute to its bottom line, making it an important aspect of day-to-day operations.

There are few disciplines within an organisation that feel this demand more than facilities. Facilities management plays a crucial role in achieving sustainability, and with an increasing emphasis in this area, the need for responsive, proactive, and agile facilities managers has never been greater.

Tactical management can leave you bogged down in the time-consuming, day-to-day operation and focused on completion of individual tasks. The strategic manager in you is a long-term planner, goal-setter and key decisionmaker that has a positive impact on your organisation’s long-term success – and is rewarded accordingly.

It’s time to get agile in Facilities Management 

The pandemic caused a seismic shift that totally changed how and where we work. The fact that more employees are working from home as a result does not mean the world of Facilities Management has escaped this change. Quite the opposite in fact.

Add an energy and cost of living crisis into the mix and you have an environment that demands enormous creativity and flexibility from facilities teams. Consequently, training your future facilities managers to be responsive, agile and, equally, inventive, has never been so important.
