Workplace and Facilities management professionals are experienced in managing their buildings PPMs efficiently, but often don’t score as well when managing their own balance scorecard…This session will consider how to maximise efficiency in four key areas;

  • Energy management – how much energy is being wasted through stress and urgency?
  • Efficiency and Sustainability – are ways of working efficient, is energy being used sustainably?
  • Health and safety – how much focus is there on the health side of H&S?
  • Maintenance – is too much time being spent on reactive work?
