Once a year the global facilities management community comes together to celebrate Facilities Management on World FM Day. This year's theme is 'empowering people for a productive world'.
Global FM, the BiFM and other member associations will be hosting events across the week recognising the vital work that facilities management professionals and the facilities management industry contributes to businesses worldwide. It aims to raise the profile of the FM profession and anywhere FMs influence the health, safety, productivity and well-being of people who utilise the built environment.
Richard Nichols, SG World Sales Director, said: 'You may be tempted to think of facilities management and think of buildings but it isn't about bricks and mortar, we're talking about the comfort, productivity and safety of people at work and play in office blocks, shopping malls and civic facilities. SG World work closely with FM professionals looking to improve their visitor experience and workplace health and safety so we recognise the huge contribution they make to the business world. We'd like to wish everyone in this field a very Happy World FM Day.'
