Facility management is facing a critical shortage of professionals and urgently needs to attract new talent, according to a new research report by the International Facility Management Association (IFMA) and the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (RICS).
The report, Raising the Bar: From Operational Excellence to Strategic Impact in FM, is based on a survey of more than 2,500 facility managers from around the world. The third edition of the report was released during the Annual Summit of the World Built Environment Forum, recently held in Shanghai.
