Facilities Management
What is facilities management?
It is defined by the ISO as “an organizational function which integrates people, place, and process within the built environment to improve the quality of life of people and the productivity of the core business.”
Facilities management is the daily operations that ensure a physical environment is able to support an organization’s needs. It is the foundation for the safety, sustainability and efficiency of buildings and properties.
Why is facilities management important?
It is integral to the success of every organization as it supports productivity, comfort, safety, profitability and efficiency. Buildings need to be safe and comfortable for people to perform well and feel engaged in their environments, and therefore, provide value in the long term.
What does a facilities manager do?
The title Facilities Manager can hold different meanings depending on the industry and the size of the organization. In short, facilities managers ensure the places in which people live, work and play are safe, comfortable and sustainable. They are responsible for maintaining the organization’s properties, buildings and equipment and making sure all systems within the physical environment work harmoniously.
