QFM - FM Solutions for Blue-Chip Organisations
Industry Issues
There is increasing pressure on blue-chip organisations to improve facilities services, generate cost savings, meet OH&S legislation as well as reduce environmental impact. They are regarded as leading corporate citizens and as such are expected to make a positive contribution to emerging markets and be supportive of global partners. It is therefore presumed that their operations are managed to the optimum in order to further enhance their brand and maximise shareholder value. In reality however, juggling and prioritising operational demands to ensure that asset value is optimised through reduced downtime and lower cost of ownership, whilst simultaneously improving the service quality and availability of facilities is a real challenge.
In addition to the above, the Board of Directors of every blue-chip organisation is consistently being reminded of their OH&S obligations. It is important that they provide excellent working conditions in order to demonstrate that they are an employer of choice, to ensure that they retain valuable employees. They are also becoming increasingly conscious of reducing their organisation's environmental footprint and need to demonstrate that they are minimising their environmental impact.
