Every year on the second Wednesday of May, we celebrate World Facilities Management Day (WFMD) to honor the vital role of facility managers in maintaining the functionality and security of our workplaces and public spaces. This year, the theme for WFMD is “Inspire, Integrate, Innovate: Ignite Your Career in FM.” It highlights the diverse skillset of facility managers and their ability to balance people, place, process, and technology to create safe, efficient, and productive environments for all.
Facility managers are often overlooked heroes who keep our buildings running smoothly and manage essential services behind the scenes.

The importance of facility management cannot be overstated. Facility managers play a crucial role in ensuring that our built environment is safe, efficient, and comfortable for everyone who uses it. They are responsible for coordinating staff schedules, managing maintenance tasks
