845-656-7748As a facility manager, you have a complex role that combines technical skills, high-level communication, working with people, and meticulous organization. You’re charged with operating buildings and infrastructure so that they are safe, efficient, and meet business objectives. You’re the engine that makes a facility run.
When it comes to facility management, are there tactics that can make the role more efficient and effective? Support your organization’s facility management by adopting these can’t-miss strategies:
#1. PARTNER WITH THE PROS
As a busy Facility Manager, you cannot and should not go it alone. The most successful people in this role know who to count on to get things done right. A professional maintenance and janitorial team will expertly handle all your needs to ensure that your facility is running smoothly so that you can get back to business.
And while there are many maintenance companies out there, what differentiates the best? It comes down to reliability, reputation, attention to detail, and a commitment to your organization’s success.
#2. SEEK OUT MAINTENANCE SERVICES FROM 1 SINGLE COMPANY
Why complicate your life and job by having to call multiple companies to handle your maintenance needs?
Imagine the time you’ll save if you’re able to call one single company that can handle everything from plumbing and electrical to carpentry. Say goodbye to multiple phone calls and multiple teams, as the most resourceful Facility Managers build trust with one dedicated team that can do it all.
#3. IMPLEMENT A PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE PLAN
Reacting to maintenance issues only when they arise can be costly and inefficient. Taking a proactive approach to maintenance will save your business money in the long run, as the lifespan of equipment and infrastructure will be extended through regular inspections, routine servicing, and early detection of potential issues.
Remember, preventative maintenance now can help avoid larger issues in the future!
#4. ENSURE YOUR MAINTENANCE TEAM HAS 24/7 AVAILABILITY
Emergencies can and will happen, and successful facility managers rely on maintenance teams that can handle emergencies, 24/7 should problems arise.
While Facility Managers are constantly solving unexpected problems, it helps to know you have a partner in place that can address these situations effectively, at any time of the day. This extra peace of mind is priceless!
#5. SAVE YOUR ORGANIZATION MONEY
Partnering with one outside company in developing a regular service schedule can actually save money. How so? A consistent service schedule is more cost effective because it allows maintenance companies to provide more flexible rates for their service. Typically, when services are regularly scheduled, maintenance teams can be more efficient and get the job done faster in a shorter amount of time versus only handling maintenance on an as-needed basis.
Additionally, employing an outside company avoids internal overhead costs such as training, benefits, and onboarding.
