Skills, skills, skills! Do you already possess them? 



 
FM is a predominantly people-orientated and customer-focused industry. It seeks to help other organizations and individuals achieve their goals. FM is certainly an industry which requires a lot from their workers. The professional, interpersonal, and even emotional demands that facility managers face every day are significant, and they can seem to come from all directions. Many facilities managers are pressured to cut down their budget and strive to achieve all KPIs. Despite the critical role of a facility manager in the built environments, it is claimed that the profession currently lacks certain skills. As a consequence, there is considerable variability between FM professionals and their positions, limited alignment between the approach of generalist and specific industry associations in the FM industry. So which skills do organizations of today want their facility managers to possess? Read more about strategic facilities management skills to prioritise in 2015.
