Are you struggling to work with your Facilities Manager? Red Flags to Watch.

Are you struggling to work with your current Facilities Manager? Have there been a few instances where standards have slipped? 

Here are some signs it might be time to start the hunt for a new captain for your ship:

1. Maintenance Mishaps:

Ever feel like our facility is aging faster than a vintage car? If the maintenance issues are piling up and the usual go-to fixes are becoming temporary band-aids, it's a sign that a  fresh new perspective is needed.

2. Budget Battles:

Has counting pennies become a daily ritual? If your budget resembles a maze with no exit, and you're constantly scrambling for funds, it's a clear signal that a new Facilities Manager could bring some financial wizardry.

3. Communication Breakdown:

When getting updates from your current manager feels like decoding hieroglyphics, it's a problem. Clear communication is the heartbeat of smooth operations. If it's missing, it's time to find someone who speaks your language.

4. Compliance Confusion:

Do changing regulations feel like a storm you can't weather? If staying compliant has become a game of chance, it's time to find a Facilities Manager who can navigate the regulatory seas without leaving you all drowning.

5. Employee Grumbles:

Ever hear those low murmurs of discontent around the building? If employee satisfaction is nosediving, and the blame points to facility-related issues, it's time for a change in leadership.

6. Sustainability Standstill:

In an era where being green is the new black, if your current Facilities Manager isn't championing sustainability, you could be  missing out. It's not just about being eco-friendly – it's about cost savings and a positive workplace vibe.
