In a world marked by a growing emphasis on customer service, the facilities management industry is no exception. A 2023 Global Customer Service Trends report revealed that a whopping 80% of businesses believe that customer service is a strategic priority (Deloitte, 2023).

And it doesn’t stop there, 46% of companies increased their customer service investment (HubSpot, 2022), highlighting a clear shift in focus.

Delivering exceptional service isn’t just a bonus; it’s a necessity. Riddled with rising costs, inflation, and economic challenges, clients are under pressure to make every penny count. They want to spend less while expecting more. They need their facilities to be not just well-maintained but to provide an outstanding experience.

Empower your employees

So, the question emerges – How can you empower your staff to deliver the best service?

A substantial 81% of FM managers believe that training and credentials result in better job performance (Professional Facility Management Institute, 2023), but it’s important to invest in training that delivers a measurable impact, anticipates future challenges and takes a human-centric approach.
