Course Summary
The management of your facilities is incredibly important to the successful functioning of your business. Facilities management is often an overlooked profession. However, no business can function without building maintenance, health and safety procedures, risk assessments, and teams to clean and maintain a pleasant working environment.
Because facilities management is such an essential part of the business, it’s important that these teams aim for continuous improvement in all processes and increase efficiency to enable other departments to function to the best of their ability.
Sustainability is on everyone’s minds in the current environment. Becoming a more sustainable workplace not only makes an important contribution to the environment, but it could save your business money, make your processes and procedures more efficient, and ultimately, make the workplace more productive with motivated and positive employees.
