FM meets millennial expectations
FM provides a career that will allow millennials
to innovate.
– They want to learn and grow in an
organization large enough that offers career
rotations, promotes mentoring and rewards
new ideas.

“Strategic Buildings Director” are consistent
with the millennial desire to innovate.

Companies who specialize in integrated facilities management and FM
talent development are best positioned to deliver cost-competitive solutions
to FM self-providers who cannot keep pace with the changing nature of
FM and need to outsource.
Companies that embrace mentoring and training, encourage and reward
innovation, and provide meaningful career challenges and advancement
have an edge.
