Check out this wonderful team. And good luck to all the finalists. Gutted to be missing it! #IWFMAwards2022

A huge thanks to the @IFMAToronto1 chapter putting on a great party last night here in Nashville for IFMA World Workplace 2022.

Whoop! Come on, @MagentaComms - up for 2 awards!

.@ifmnet’s latest 30 Second Survey is closing soon. 2 years after the start of the pandemic, what state is the cleaning sector in, what’s the outlook for the next 6 months, and how is technology changing cleaning services? Let them know. i-fm.net/30-second-surv…

New @ifmnet Technology Survey in the link. Very topical if we think about the role tech will play in driving change in the short and long term. ifmnet.typeform.com/to/krr06yrB

I spoke to @Bi_Workplace and @PhilMatis about their plans for the @EWL_Community. It’s the latest in our 5 Mins With series magentaassociates.co/emerging-workp…

My call to action @FM_Conference: how do we build on the recognition we’ve won for FM’s key role in the economy, and the value of our frontline workers? How do we consolidate on the workplace changes we’ve seen? We need to lead on the new ways of working #facman #wpfut21

@LarchLucy @VinciFMRory @FM_Conference @davidifm @Look_Sharp What do you think @JoSutherlandPR? 😆

@simoniatroupr @VinciFMRory @FM_Conference @davidifm @Look_Sharp Too early? Well you’ve changed 🤣

Having a little #facman wash up after @FM_Conference with my fabulous FM friends #wpfut21 @LarchLucy @davidifm @Look_Sharp @simoniatroupr and many more 🥂🥂

“That means better PR for FM. “We need to imagine new solutions, not follow. We need to be smart and up our game.” #wpfut21

Jeynes says: “It’s incredible what we can achieve when we have to change. We need to keep the attention on our key role in the economy.” #wpfut21

Time for @LarchLucy to sum up the day at @FM_Conference. #wpfut21

Zero carbon, carbon neutral, net zero... Understanding the differences between these terms will help your organization make significant progress in sustainability - Matt Dracup, @ENGIEgroup #wpfut21

@LarchLucy @ENGIE_UK @FM_Conference There’s definitely a need to ‘dejargonise’ sustainability. Lots of zeroes and scopes!

Sustainability - how to understand the difference between zero carbon and net zero. How to become carbon neutral - key steps and approaches explained by Matt Dracup of @ENGIE_UK at @FM_Conference #wpfut21 #facman

...the challenge for FM is that its often too functional in its focus and doesn’t put itself in the user / employees’ shoes #wpfut21

.@AndrewHulbert says more tenders coming through at the beginning of 2021 from orgs who are frustrated with some larger companies’ inability to adapt and guide them through the current turmoil. #wpfut21

How will FM service providers support the post covid workplace? @AndrewHulbert says if people don’t come back to office full time, there will be a real need to create a meaningful workplace experience. #wpfut21

Hulbert says he’s not a believer in the notion that facilities management is a hidden sector (a decades’ old trope). Its role as a key provider during the pandemic has demonstrated this. #wpfut21

.@ParetoFM’s @AndrewHulbert up next. He says good service providers have been able to cement their customer relationships during the pandemic, especially SMEs and mid market companies. #wpfut21

Venn says green recovery cannot be forgotten. Customer appetite for zero carbon greater than ever. ESG is now a hygiene factor, not just a nice-to-have. #wpfut21

.@mitie’s Simon Venn says “adaptability” is the hallmark of the facilities management sector. Best companies are now actively predicting the change coming in the post covid world, from office redesign to virtual services for home working. #wpfut21
