This is mainly about the ‘workplace experience’ – how employees experience the workplace. This is not just a rational story of how our behaviors are influenced by the workplace, but also an emotional one: you want to create a work environment that appeals to the hearts of employees and gives them a sense of belonging. But you also want to offer a good overall experience, where the balance between home and office work is optimally respected, where collaboration between colleagues and between generations is supported as well as possible, and more. In short: you want to create a work environment where employees can feel happy and can be themself.
Here, we refer to the different physical workplaces – in the office, on the move, at home etc., the buildings and their surroundings, and the services that FM provides to manage and maintain these buildings.
Not only are the buildings themselves central, but also aspects of the workplace that contribute to employees being able to function optimally. How can software and technology contribute to better management of the workplace on the one hand, but also how they make those workplaces more efficient to use by employees on the other hand.
This P is getting an increasingly prominent role in HR & FM. Buildings must be made as energy-efficient as possible. Not just for the lower energy bill, but also because sustainability and environmentally conscious action are increasingly at the top of the priority list in corporate strategy. And not only to focus on the E (energy) of ESG, we also approach the other themes. How can it have an impact on social issues, diversity, inclusion, and equality.
Profit is important—it’s always about money and cost efficiency, isn’t it? But we take it a step further. Profit is also about the benefits you gain from more productive and happier employees. Let’s work together to build sustainable profit for your business.
