In this 2 day workshop, prepare to roll up your sleeves and dig in as you master techniques, tools, and new strategies designed to make your job that much easier.  We'll cover tough questions on a variety of facility management "hot buttons" -- OSHA requirements, safety issues, risk/security plans, and more.  We'll introduce you to time management tools that will help you get a handle on your day-to-day priorities. 

You'll learn how other facility managers at top organizations solve problems, deal with crises, and handle complaints.  You'll learn how to put a plan for emergencies in place (remember the East Coast blackout in 2003?).  And, you'll discover how to decrease your stress levels as you run your facility more efficiently -- without killing yourself by putting in longer hours!
