Fellow FMs, I hope facility occupants in our respective organizations can feel our contributions in ensuring they are safe and productive.

What is the level of awareness of our facility occupants in what we do as FMs?

We can adopt the Random Walk and Talk approach by asking our facility occupants if they know who we are and if they can identify and describe many of the facility services we provide, and failure of many to recognize what we do means we still have a lot of work to do.

Facility managers must continuously look to improve the services being provided to their facility occupants.

A methodology that is often used to create a culture of continuous improvement is the PDCA cycle.
