Functions of facility management

Facility management has two distinct functions:

  • Hard facility management: Hard facility management refers to the physical buildings and critical systems like lighting, electrical and fire safety. Performing hard facility management often means following laws and regulations for building requirements, HVAC services and fire prevention procedures.

  • Soft facility management: Soft facility management focuses on elements that make a location more comfortable or visually appealing, like landscaping services and interior decorating. An organization might decide which areas of soft facility management are vital for a business' offices and retail locations depending on the facilities' purposes.

Here are some reasons that facilities management is a key part of an organization's success:

  • Legal compliance: Facilities management individuals might monitor facilities' structural condition, restrooms and fire escape access, ensuring that work conditions meet legal requirements.

  • Workplace productivity: By improving a facility's use of space or upgrading equipment, facilities management teams can help other employees perform their tasks more quickly and efficiently, boosting company productivity.

  • Customer appeal: Facilities management teams that work in retail locations might ensure that the location's exterior and interior are clean, safe and visually appealing, which might increase the location's customer traffic and sales.

  • Operating cost reduction: A facilities manager leads projects that support efficient use of the facility's resources, such as promoting sustainable energy to lower operating costs without affecting productivity.

  • Job satisfaction: Employees might find more satisfaction in their jobs if they work in clean, comfortable facilities, which might encourage them to stay longer with the company.

  • Emergency response: By creating response plans for inclement weather, fires, construction or other events that might affect a workplace, facilities management teams can help a company operate at peak efficiency, even during an emergency.
