How to Effectively Solve Common Challenges in Facility Management

Here's how you can effectively solve common challenges as a Facility Manager.

Have an easy-to-understand playbook with general rules on how challenges are handled to produce consistent and easy-to-follow solutions. Having a clear standard and procedure on how particular challenges are handled ensures you do the same thing every time, making it more of a reflex so you don’t have to spend a long time jumping into action on a particular issue.

Remember, speed is key when it comes to client satisfaction in FM.

Also, the team you work with is essential in solving common day challenges. Like I have always said, you cannot do it all, and this applies to challenges too. You can't solve all the challenges, so you need to empower specific members of your team with the right skills and disposition to handle a particular challenge or, when it needs team effort, play for the team to ensure effectiveness.
