THE BATTLE FOR TALENT • Does facility management need to be seen as more vocational to address the skills gap? DONALD MacDONALD reports.

DRIVING VALUE • Understanding facilities management through a service lens will help take it from the basement to the boardroom, says MARCUS ZEUSCHNER.

It’ll all come out in the wash • A constant and reliable source of warm water in washrooms isn’t just nice to have. Hygiene requirements make it a necessity, writes ADRIAN CUGNETTO.

Standing orders • No longer just the tools of the seriously hip workplaces, sit/stand desks or height-adjustable tables are now increasingly part of the mainstream working environment. Jaime Sinclair explains why and how they are best utilised.

My digital twin • The master has become the apprentice in a quest to use technology to take the FM industry to greater heights. GRAHAM CONSTABLE begins his new thoughtprovoking series.

If you want to get ahead… get Ahead • There’s an old adage that advised getting a hat to get ahead, but an innovative new technology can solve lift problems with such alacrity that those utilising it will certainly be at the front of the pack, writes PETER DARLEY.

Starting your property procurement journey • Every project needs a starting position and has a predefined number of activities from initiation to closeout as KAREN SKILLINGS reports.
