Editor’s Letter: Keeping The Future In Focus

Jennifer Goetz With another year in the books, facility management has continued to strive for excellence when it comes to creating and maintaining safe and healthy spaces. Facility executives always need to keep up with new codes, standards, and regulations, but they also have to consider new and innovative ways to improve the overall experience in their buildings.

In 2023, questions revolving around the evolution of hybrid and remote work continued; will all employees go back to the office, or is more flexible working here to stay? Ensuring employee productivity, engagement, and retention will continue to be in focus for 2024. To learn more about major focus areas for facility managers in 2023, check out the Year In Review column. In this issue, we also cover other FM topics that have been top of mind, including space utilization, IAQ monitoring, energy efficiency, and more.

Now, even though facility managers are often putting out fires left and right—it’s critical to carve out time to plan for the future. In addition to proactive maintenance, it’s just as important to have a detailed knowledge transfer plan in place in case a critical member of the FM team leaves. In this issue, we’ll explore how to pass down critical building information to successors.

Change is inevitable, but the facility management industry has proven to be resilient. Stay curious, focus on your people, processes, and technology, and keep an open mind—there may be new opportunities to improve on the horizon. Best of luck on the year ahead, and have a healthy and happy New Year!
