Today is World FM Day!

Wednesday, May 12th, 2021

From all of us at Intellis, Happy World FM Day! Today we celebrate facility management professionals worldwide! Thank you to all who keep our built environment healthy, safe, and productive!

What is World FM Day?

World FM Day is an annual day of recognition that honors Facility Management professionals. It aims to raise the global profile of the facilities management profession.

World FM Day aims to recognize all the vital work that facilities management professionals and the facilities management industry contribute to businesses worldwide. 

From Hospital and Healthcare facilities to education organizations, from sporting facilities to housing buildings, the facilities management profession touches nearly everyone, everywhere, in some way.

This year's theme 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. 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!”

Chairman, Global FM

The past 12 months have seen extraordinary changes across the world. Facilities management (FM) teams have been called upon like never before, with unforeseen demand for resilience, compliance, and flexibility.

The Facility Management sector is exceptionally proud of all that has been achieved. Facilities management professionals have enabled businesses, governments, and societies to operate efficiently and effectively.

Facility Management has played a crucial role in making built environments accessible through the pandemic to ensure occupant safety. The profession and the industry have grown in importance. Facility Managers make an essential contribution to the built environment.

Facilities Management is a $1.15 trillion global industry with more than 65,000 professional and industry participants worldwide. World FM Day celebrates the significant contribution that facilities managers and executives make to the global economy and our built environment!

At Intellis, our mission is to empower facilities teams with the latest tech advancements, like our mobile enterprise solution  FOUNDATION, so that they can manage and plan for healthy buildings and infrastructure operations while reducing costs, improving productivity, and boosting sustainability.
