CLR Facility Services Pvt Ltd
Using Technology for Better & Efficient Facilities Management.
Facilities management companies are responsible for the maintenance, upkeep, and day-to-day operations of properties and facilities. From office buildings to hospitals to college campuses, facilities management teams handle a wide variety of environments. Having a diverse facilities management staff can provide significant benefits.?
Here's why diversity matters:
Improved Problem Solving
A diverse facilities team brings different perspectives, ideas, and approaches to solving problems. When an HVAC system breaks down, fresh solutions can arise when technicians have different backgrounds. A diverse staff enables looking at issues from various angles, leading to innovative fixes.
Enhanced Service Quality?
With a range of specialities and skills, a diverse facilities group can provide well-rounded, quality service. Some technicians may excel at carpentry while others are experts in landscaping. Bringing these competencies together under one roof lets facilities managers deliver stellar service.

Better Accessibility
Making sure facilities are accessible and usable by people with different needs is crucial. Having staff members with firsthand experience being disabled or assisting disabled family and friends brings insight. Diverse viewpoints allow managers to see gaps that may otherwise go unseen.
Increased Adaptability
The needs of properties and facilities often change, sometimes unexpectedly. A facilities team of staff with varied expertise and responsibilities makes a company more agile and better equipped to handle new demands. Moving to environmentally-friendly practices or new security requirements, for example, are more seamless with a diverse workforce.??
Improved Reputation and Community Relations
A visibly diverse staff communicates an inclusive message to clients, visitors, and the public. It signals that the company values equality and representation. For facilities teams serving schools and neighbourhoods, having cultural, ethnic, and racial diversity allows for better relationship building.??
While hiring for facilities roles often focuses on technical qualifications, remembering that diversity has key benefits is vital. The problems facing facilities teams are complex and ever-changing, making having a variety of perspectives within a company that much more valuable.

1 年Hello, We’re working on a blog about the benefits of sharing internal facility information with external vendors.?Any thoughts or ideas you’d like to share on the topic? We’d love to quote you.?Here’s what we’ve got so far.?Appreciate your feedback. Thanks. Jack Rubinger, ARC Facilities, 503-964-4877, [email protected] One of the largest hidden costs in Facilities Management comes from external vendor costs. Specifically, their labor and time. Specialized technicians for complex trades and projects will be brought in on an as-needed basis to support existing facilities teams. Their expert knowledge and specialization come at a price of large hourly rates. We have spoken with our partners in industries like Healthcare, Education, and Banking to understand what factors add to these growing external vendor costs and how they are working to reduce them.? One of the main overlooked costs with external vendors is the time it takes for them to complete their work.?
