Building relationships is essential for professional growth. Whether it be with co-workers, partners, or customers, establishing quality relationships makes our jobs easier while improving our organizational culture. But with more and more companies making the switch to hybrid work, fostering those relationships is now more important than ever. Below, we discuss the power of relationships in facilities management and illustrate how clear, concise communication paired with the use of technology can help organizations prepare for the unexpected.
Relationships Build Trust
No matter the size of the organization, a facilities manager is responsible for coordinating the many unique needs of the facility, the stakeholders, and often multiple vendors and partners. Each interaction creates opportunities to network and develop reliable connections. For organizations to function effectively and efficiently, facility managers need to foster relationships built on trust.
Communication is critical in building trust in an organization. When communication is clear and concise, systems run smoothly. This communication impacts not only facilities managers but also employees, customers, and ultimately revenue.
Trusted relationships also help you prepare for the unexpected. Teaming up with a quality partner means that no matter what happens or how your needs change, you’ll have added peace of mind knowing you’re covered.
Use Technology to Your Advantage
It’s no secret that the world looks different than it did a few years ago and those changes are evident in facilities management. From restaurants and retail to office buildings and factories, nearly every industry has undergone a drastic change in day-to-day operations with new safety mandates and public health protocols.
Traditional standards have been altered and require significantly more preparation for many organizations, causing interruptions in daily operations that are still felt today. The good news? Organizations are getting back on track with the use of enhanced technology.
With new technology solutions for facilities management, facility managers can more easily communicate with their teams, vendors, and partners–often within a single app. Improved technology provides efficiency and clarity through streamlined communication with your team and partners, allowing greater insight into the work, and quality in your projects.
Facilities management technologies like these can be an easy solution to help cut through the clutter, reduce downtime, and eliminate needless frustration. It helps easily regulate compliance, analyze insights of project details and performance, track time and resources, and ensure a consistent level of service and quality. All of which ultimately save time and money.
