Your Facilities Management News
Facility Executive
According to a new report, nearly 2 in 5 U.S. healthcare workers have considered leaving their jobs due to safety concerns, with many citing daily experiences of violence and harassment. This pervasive issue is significantly contributing to staffing shortages and deterring new professionals from entering the field, with inadequate security measures often reported by employees.
Healthcare Facilities Today
For healthcare facilities, robust backup power systems are crucial for emergency preparedness, ensuring continuous operation during outages and preventing potential catastrophes. Effective strategies for these systems include redundancy, intelligent components, proactive monitoring, scalability in design, and the use of quick-connects for portable generators, especially in critical facilities like hospitals.
Facility Executive
As modern work has become flexible and digital, many physical offices are outdated, leading companies to seek ways to optimize space for productivity and engagement without overspending. Occupancy intelligence, which combines real-time usage data and employee feedback, is crucial for redesigning workplaces to support focus, flexibility, and collaboration, ultimately improving employee retention and delivering significant cost savings.
