Overview

UK organisations are entering 2026 facing intensified regulatory scrutiny, ongoing budget pressures, accelerating digital transformation, and a widening skills gap across workplace and facilities management. FM has shifted decisively from a support function to a strategic driver of organisational resilience, compliance, risk reduction, and sustainability and businesses that fail to upskill their teams risk falling behind.

This webinar, built around IWFM’s expert learning solutions, will show you how to transform your WFM capability, whether in‑house or outsourced, from stretched and reactive teams into future‑ready strategic partners. You’ll discover how structured skills frameworks, competency‑led training and bespoke organisational development can raise performance, strengthen compliance assurance, and ensure your FM/Workplace function delivers measurable value in a high‑pressure environment.

Join us to explore how IWFM’s comprehensive offer can help define the skills your teams need for today’s challenges and tomorrow’s expectations and ensure your WFM function performs at its best.

Don’t risk leaving your organisation exposed, less efficient, and struggling to compete.
