Translated from Português (Brazil) • View original The popularity of facilities management has grown considerably in recent years, and the main reason for this is the fact that it offers different benefits to the market. This started two years ago when we started to face a completely different work scenario due to the pandemic and this impacted both employees and companies. Work models have changed and health and safety care has increased, especially with regard to the gradual return of employees to corporate spaces. The facilities management area is responsible for managing corporate spaces and ensuring the functionality and comfort of team members, in addition to integrating processes, people, and technological solutions. All these activities are seen as the future of the labor market and companies that do not have this strategy may end up being left behind. If you still don't know what facilities management is and how it works, keep following us in this post. What is facilities management? Facilities management is a set of strategies that manage important services for maintaining the quality of the company's infrastructure. This type of administration ensures that all activities contracted to meet the internal demands of the business work with the minimum necessary quality. In general, facilities management is an interdisciplinary management, which coordinates different activities of the company related to its employees and its infrastructure. Who uses facilities management? Facilities management can be used by businesses of all sizes and segments, however, it is essential especially for medium and large companies, which have more sectors and activities. Professionals who work in this type of area can provide services in two ways:
- In-house: in which facilities management is carried out within offices, buildings, and other places where the company is headquartered.
- On anywhere office: anywhere the facilities service is requested.
Types of facilities services Learn about some of the types of services that are worked by facilities management in a company: Cleaning Cleaning services are essential for the quality of companies' infrastructure. In addition to ensuring a good image before stakeholders, contributing to the health of employees and the proper use of facilities, they also prevent the degradation of equipment, furniture and office supplies. Not to mention that working in a clean and sanitized environment increases the productivity and motivation of employees and managers themselves. Outsourcing the cleaning team is very common and it guarantees the quality of the service, as well as increases peace of mind in relation to the sector. Concierge Like the cleaning sector, the concierge is an extremely important service for many companies, but paying for training, team management, shift changes and employee training can generate many costs and concerns that are avoided with this type of outsourcing. To ensure compliance with the labor agreement between the company and the outsourcer, facilities management works by monitoring compliance with the schedule, the technologies adopted, the skills of the hired professionals, and much more. Having the support of a specialized concierge can contribute to the good image that employees and customers have in the company. Security Some companies need special attention in this area and outsourcing is also very welcome both for the cost and for the training of the professionals involved. Not to mention the state-of-the-art equipment that you won't have to worry about changing whenever they become obsolete. Generally, this type of service is hired by fintechs, large companies, factories, and financial institutions in general. In these cases, security companies must be monitored according to the signed contract. In facilities management, training, skills, and specific authorizations must accompany the hiring, especially if there is involvement of firearms in security work.
