Happy World Facilities Management Day!

May 12 marks World Facilities Management Day.

Organized by Global FM, once a year the global facilities management community comes together on World FM Day to celebrate the facilities management profession and its successes.

The theme for this year is “Celebrating FM — Standing Tall Beyond the Pandemic.”

“As people from around the world begin to emerge from their homes and return to the built environment to work, learn, worship, and play, we are witnessing an incredible phenomenon for facility management,” stated Global FM chairman and IFMA fellow John Carrillo.

“With a renewed importance being placed on human health and safety coupled with building sustainability and resilience, the facility manager today has been thrust into the center of the ‘Return To’ conversation. This year’s World FM Day is special to me since celebrating the work of FM has never been so important to all peoples of this world. Happy World FM Day!”
