As organizations focus on delivering a sustainable workplace that responds to evolving technologies and user needs, facility management (FM) has an important role to play. As one of the fastest growing professional and operational disciplines globally, organizations require a consistent FM approach across locations, sites and facilities - one that supports in-house delivery and provides procurement teams a benchmark to measure competency and maturity of FM providers in a global market. That's where ISO 41001 can help.
What are the benefits of ISO 41001?
ISO 41001 is the international standard for a facility management system. It provides a framework to develop, implement and maintain effective facility management across different sectors worldwide.
It helps you recognize the scope of your responsibilities and create a management structure, with appropriate resources to fulfil the needs of your stakeholders.
Strategic importance
ISO 41001 raises the profile of facility management as a profession and recognizes the value it delivers as part of your organizations strategic direction.
As FM moves towards integrated facility management, the services you provide need to align with the organizational strategy and objectives. It's not just about delivering a service; you also need to manage the life cost and usability of assets, services and obligations to workspace users, and control the environmental impacts of your operations
Service and asset value
ISO 41001 provides a systematic approach, which requiresyou to continually review your service delivery and assets toensure effective operations, minimize unnecessary cost andderive tangible value for business.
Global consistency
In response to the growing demand for scalable FM services, FM providers have started to increase capability on a global scale. And with increasing usage in an international arena,
consistency is key. That's where ISO 41001 delivers. It provides you with common principles, concepts and terms including the assessment and measurement of performance to demonstrate competence of providers and give confidence to users
