Facility Management
Facilities Management is a profession that refers to the integration of physical infrastructures (like technology) and the employees who maintain the safety, security, and efficiency of these systems.
Facilities Managers are “considered strategic executives who are integral to an organization’s ongoing success.” They are responsible for the maintenance of “places of work” (such as offices, retail stores, and warehouses) and ensuring the proper function of business operations.
In simple terms, building and facilities management is the efficient coordination of all activities related to keeping physical spaces and infrastructures operational; from single buildings to complex campuses used for a range of revenue-generating sites, like retail, manufacturing, and healthcare.
The management of facilities includes making sure each element of a working environment is safe simply by meeting relevant regulatory mandates, conducting frequent maintenance, and reorganizing structural layouts.
