WORKPLACE EXPERIENCE
Being able to work safely and in an
appropriate environment is not only
important on an individual level,
but it’s also crucial for recruitment,
retention, and the future of the
facilities management profession.
Our 昀椀rst piece of research revealed that
professionals were feeling the strain from increasing
workloads and stress, with over a quarter (28%)
admitting to making mistakes because they had
too much on their plate. In our latest research, we
revisited those questions to see whether progress
has been made over the past 12 months, and found
increasing dissatisfaction among FMs.
TOP TIP
HSE has published guidance around managing stress and
supporting good mental health in the workplace for both workers
and managers. Share these resources around your organisation
and demonstrate a proactive approach to tackling these issues.
Carrying out stress risk assessment and implementing routine
management tools to identify problems and needs are both ideal
foundations to put in place immediately.
