If you are a C.O.O, C.E.O, Facilities Manager, H.R Manager or a Health and Safety Manager, then this article is written for you.
It will assist you in your understanding the Benefits of Facilities Management, as well as ideas on what to consider when appointing a Facilities Management Service Provider.
Let us start off with the definition; “Facilities management (FM) is the integrated management of the work environment and supporting services of an organisation to provide an environment that enables the business to achieve its primary objective.”
At a corporate level FM enables the delivery of strategic and operational objectives; whilst on an operational level FM provides a safe and efficient working environment. FM enables great first impressions for your clients and peace of mind for your employees – thus making it not just for big business, but rather for all business. FM provides four key benefits for your business.
Driving Efficiency
Your business works best when you, and your colleagues, can concentrate on doing your job. Appointing one company for all of your facilities management needs allows you to redirect essential resources from non-core areas of your business, to core activities. This drives efficiency and productivity, improving customer satisfaction and drives the business forward. Furthermore, having a dedicated team working collaboratively on the management of your facilities not only improves productivity, but also ensures a consistent standard is maintained across all your service needs.
Asset Maintenance
One of the biggest advantages of facilities management is the maintenance of business assets including buildings, spaces and equipment. When managed effectively businesses are able to realise the full worth of resources because of the care given to maintain them, driving down asset replacement and frequent expenditure. A professional facilities management company will be able to offer a complete service for at least 20% cheaper than it costs the company.
Ensures Health & Safety Requirements are met
There are various statutory requirements pertaining to occupational health and safety as prescribed by the Department of Labour. These provide a framework of safety for persons in a work place. A professional facilities management entity will ensure that these requirements are met delivering a safe environment for your employees.
Expert Knowledge
Having a team of skilled and experienced professionals on hand to take care of your premises will ensure that every task is carried out safely, seamlessly on time and in the best manner possible. This is important given the value of time to any institution. You can also take advantage of being supported by a team who is constantly reviewing the latest industry best practices, regulations and technological innovations to ensure that you are always ahead.
