Finally, a course for Facility Managers that addresses the challenges,
difficulties, and dilemmas of this demanding position!
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!
This course is based on "best practices" from top facilities
managers around the country.
Hundreds of hours of research,
study, planning, and fine-tuning go into the production of each of our
seminars. This one is no exception. Our course developers have
looked at facility management in organizations across the country and
analyzed their processes, systems, and approaches. This
workshop reflects the latest findings and best practices in facility
management today and addresses the up-to-the-minute issues that make this
field so difficult to stay on top of.
You'll get tips, tools, and strategies that are proven to work in
real-world situations as you learn from case studies and other facility
managers' experiences. This course is comprehensive, in-depth, and
packed with need-to-know information you can use the very next day you
return to your office. Don't miss your chance to attend!
