Developing you and your clients or teams
Is your CPD aligned with your business strategy?
Professional development should be more than a personal learning plan – it should support organisational goals and future priorities. Regularly reviewing your CPD against business strategy helps ensure new skills, knowledge and behaviours deliver measurable value. By aligning development with business needs, individuals and organisations are better positioned to respond to change, improve performance and achieve long-term success. We recommend following the work of our People Development SIG for access to expert insight and events.

Research and insights to help you and your clients succeed
Essential reading
Procurement is one of the most important activities in workplace and facilities management. It influences service quality, organisational performance, compliance, sustainability outcomes and, ultimately, the experience of workplace users. Yet many professionals are expected to lead or contribute to procurement exercises without access to practical guidance tailored to our sector.
To help address that challenge, IWFM has launched Procurement: A Good Practice Guide for Workplace and Facilities Managers – it's available now.
Member news
A hybrid reality check: Why 2026 is the year of the ‘Managed Workplace’.
For the past five years, the corporate world has been obsessed with the ‘where’ and ‘how often’ we work. We have argued over anchor days, debated the merits of mandates, and agonised over what flexibility really means for employees.
Are your members ready for the Right to Work checks changing in October?
Right to Work Checks are changing, and employers need to be ready before 1 October 2026. The Home Office has confirmed changes to Right to Work Checks that will extend requirements beyond traditional employees. From 1 October 2026, the scope will include workers, individual subcontractors, agency workers and online matching services, bringing gig-economy roles, such as delivery riders, care workers and platform-based cleaners, into scope for the first time.
Why facilities management needs one connected platform, not another point solution
Most facilities management businesses are not short on systems. A multi-site FM contractor typically has attendance tracking somewhere, a compliance or vetting record somewhere else, job and task records in a third place, and client invoicing in a fourth. Every one of these does its job. None of them were built to answer the question a client, or a regulator, actually asks: who was on site, were they vetted and compliant to be there, and can you prove the work was done.
Beyond Traditional Guarding: UKPGL’s Move to Technology-Enabled Managed Security
As expectations of security providers evolve, UK Professional Guarding Limited is bringing people, technology, intelligence and governance together. Managing Director Ali Awan explains why greater operational visibility matters for facilities teams — and why people remain at the heart of the service.
Why FM businesses often don’t know which contracts are actually making money
Ask most FM finance directors how the business performed last month, and you’ll get a confident answer. Ask them which of their 40, 80 or 200 contracts were actually profitable, and the confidence often drops. It’s not that the information doesn’t exist.
It’s that it’s scattered — across spreadsheets, site managers’ notes, subcontractor invoices, and a finance system that was built to report on the business as a whole, not contract by contract.
