Read Full ArticleMitie has published a white paper which identifies the biggest challenges facing facilities managers.
“Accelerating Facilities Transformation” has been produced in collaboration with Nordic Foresight, the workplace and research consultancy. The paper outlines eight key questions FM decision-makers must ask themselves as they navigate the industry’s transformation.
The questions span issues including sustainability, community and the general attractiveness of workplaces, to highlight pressing issues and to prompt conversations about ways to respond.
Mitie’s research uncovered an increasing focus on environmental goals, and adapting workplaces to meet changing employee needs and expectations. A section of the paper advises FMs to consider diversity and inclusion “from the outset of workspace design”, accommodating the needs of neurodiverse employees and others.
As business priorities evolve, this guidance advises on how FM services need to be developed to keep apace.
Phil Bentley, CEO at Mitie, commented: “As the report makes clear, in order to survive, our sector must never stand still, but constantly evolve according to changing needs. Facilities management leaders should contemplate each question carefully and consider an appropriate response. In doing so, they will create robust and successful organisations that will survive and thrive through the transformation of their built estate, and whatever else the future may hold.”
The paper can be read in full here.
