Overview
Workplace and facilities management (WFM) displays the qualities needed to thrive and achieve success throughout disruption, leveraging foresight, planning and agility to anticipate challenges and implement solutions. This is recognised by 2025’s World FM Day theme: 'Resilience in action: thriving in a world of change.’
Building on this theme, we invite you to join us for an insightful webinar on our IWFM Mentoring programme, designed to help you understand the value of mentoring and how it can benefit both individuals professionally and the wider workplace.
if you’re looking to take the next step in your professional journey, being a mentor or mentee can play a vital role in helping to build resilience, adapt to change, and thrive in today’s evolving workplace - perfectly aligning with the spirit of World FM Day 2025.
Led by personal development coach, Wendy Sutherland, this session will address mentors and mentees and explore:
- An overview of IWFM Mentoring – who it's for and how it works
- The mentoring journey – key stages and what to expect
- The benefits of mentoring – how it supports career and personal growth

There will be an opportunity to ask Wendy any questions about getting involved in mentoring.
