World FM Day

World FM Day 2010 is scheduled for Thursday 24 June

Why is FM important for the business world?

Facilities management is a critical, strategic business discipline. Organisations increasingly occupy complex buildings and use sophisticated technology for communications and control Professional FM is needed to plan, maintain and manage these facilities. It is part of the drive to meet the higher demands of organisations and individuals. Whether as employees, customers, students or patients, people have higher expectations of their living, working and leisure environments.
Good facilities management can deliver flexibility, adaptability and sustainability. It can help organisations respond to cost pressures or the need for greater security. Beyond buildings, it can enable remote and peripatetic working.

In celebration of World FM Day we thought we would interview some of UBM's facilities and operations managers from USA, India and the UK to find out how facilities management has evolved, the challenges they face and where they see the facilities industry in the future.
