by Brianna Crandall — January 4, 2016 — For facilities managers and other professionals responsible for maintaining stores, restaurants, clinics, centers, buildings or any type of facilities, different times of year bring different challenges, points out FM software provider ServiceChannel. Every season brings its own unique set of conditions that can dramatically impact a company’s FM program.
Towards the end of the year, FMs need to ensure all locations are prepared for the holiday season and be smart about year-end budgeting and planning. While FMs are always “on,” the last months of the year are the start of a particularly important time period. Come summer, traffic patterns, weather flows, and staffing fluctuations bring their own set of issues to handle; other seasons have their own characteristics.
There are a number of essential activities that most facilities managers should be focused on throughout the year but particularly need to plan for during specific parts of each year.
In a new eBook, ServiceChannel identifies a number of scenarios facilities managers are likely to face in each season, and the specific actions FMs can take now to improve their company’s — and their own — performance.
One common thread is that all these activities rely on technology, as today, FM software is an integral part of any facilities manager’s role, regardless of season.
What Every Facilities Manager Should Do Now can be downloaded upon brief registration from the ServiceChannel eBooks page.
