Re-imagining the world of work: how the sustainability and wellbeing agendas are disrupting FM
Join Ian Baker as he explores the unstoppable rise of wellbeing and sustainability.
What are the challenges and opportunities for FM? And what will it mean to embrace or ignore these?
None of us can predict the future; we have to create it.
The wellbeing and sustainability agendas are colliding with the rise of tech and AI. For people to be at the centre of the new ultra-connected, data-driven world, organisations have to re-align their people and their purpose
Traditional organisational models, FM delivery and procurement are already disrupted. FM is rapidly shifting to a new paradigm based on resolving social issues in harmony with nature, decentralising service models, enabling diverse life-styles, and creating workplaces where diversity and inclusion are respected.
If wellbeing is not at the heart of people engagement and business strategy, organisations will not survive into the next decade. If sustainability is not the purpose of business, customers and employees will become disenfranchised.
Sharing first-hand practical experiences, Ian will discuss how wellbeing and sustainability are transforming the very fabric of FM and workplaces, and show how the industry must respond fast in order to survive
