With return to work well under way, how many employees are actually back in the office? How much new furniture do you need? Where are you analyzing your spend? There’s been quite a significant change over the last few months, and the next few months are difficult to pin down too. This panel will aim to help you target cost saving areas of opportunity to save in this new normal we’ve found ourselves in by covering a variety of topics. Now more than ever, companies must be aware of their spend, strategize how to reduce costs and continue to maintain safety for their employees.
Topics may include:
-Mapping out plans for return to work and dealing with lingering pandemic at you facilities
-Investing in your organization (technology, office furniture, janitorial, UV lighting, etc)
-Safety requirements/cleanliness
-Cost for GC services for construction

Safety concerns top the minds of facility managers now more than ever and lighting can play an important role in providing a safe and reassuring environment. From emergency light testing that provides efficient and cost-effective ways to illuminate exits during emergencies, to disinfectant lighting, which kills pathogens with up to 99.9% effectiveness, lighting reassures employees and guests that you are taking all necessary precautions to keep your facilities safe. Learn the latest IoT lighting methods and how they can be automated with your building management systems.

Agreements with suppliers will need to be renewed. Contracts Adjusted. Where do you start to find the value? Starting from the top, we’ll compare how budgets have been impacted, where they’ve been impacted and what is changing. Short term length, quick termination clauses, moving 90 day to 30 day out on your clauses, three year deal down to one, we’ll do everything to jam pack this session with different ideas you can take and most importantly, negotiate with you . We’ll examine contracts you have in place and ways you need to rework them to ensure you’re getting the most bang for your buck.

You’ve decided to proceed with an IFM program…but is it the right move, and how can you help ensure its success? Moreover, how do you define “success”? We’re told that by implementing an IFM program you’ll create a more streamlined, efficient, and cost-effective way to handle your facilities management under one consolidated solution, but is it that simple? There are times that things don’t work the way you envision after you sign on the dotted line. This panel will explore the times an IFM model has worked well (and why), the times it hasn’t (and why) and the grey areas in between.

Using data collected from brands and industries, we will bust the myth that a lower hourly labor rate leads to lower costs for your organization. In reality, there is almost no correlation. Time on site is significantly more predictive of total cost and of quality. However, most organizations cannot consider historical time on site for new vendors, they only have the ability to evaluate hourly rate. The ServiceChannel team will present and discuss an expanded set of metrics for benchmarking providers and an easy system to annually replace low performers. Put together, this data and approach have repeatedly shown 20% of more savings for large multi-site brands.

This panel conversation will focus on learning from panelists who have started to, or have laid the foundation to create a program that includes diverse suppliers and sustainability initiatives. The conversation will have an outward focus on how to find diverse suppliers in the facilities space, and push towards diverse use of different spend tiers. We’ll then shift over to sustainability initiatives to learn about what is being done to go green. Green roofs, solar panels, recycled furniture, janitorial suppliers… Are you paying more to do the right thing, and sometimes even paying the same or less for sustainability.
