By doing so, it helps build bonds across communities and showcases facilities management to potential jobseekers, drawing attention to the sustainable benefits facilities management brings to people, building owners and the environment.

World FM Day takes place on Wednesday, 8 May this year with the theme of “Inspire, Integrate, Innovate: Ignite your career in FM.”
