4 Introduction How do you determine your existing training needs? Is your current program based on budget or needs? How do you know what competencies are needed for your team to be successful? How do you determine if required competencies are being met now? How do you develop a training program to bridge the gap once identified?

5 Think Strategic

6 Ask the right questions Why: Why is training so critical? What: What knowledge and skills are needed? How: Do you integrate competencies in to your talent management plan?

7 Why? It Saves Money $2 Billion in potential operational savings from an educated Federal FM Workforce Source: General Services Administration (GSA) Estimates based on the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory Study Assessing the Potential for a FEMP Operations and Maintenance (O&M) Program to Improve Energy Efficiency, 2002

8 Why? It Saves Money Typical design and construction costs account for only about 2% of an organization s total cost to exist. Life-Cycle Costs of a Facility 6% 2% The Cost of Productivity Average annual cost for Personnel: $ /sf For facilities: $20/sf For energy: $2.50/sf Salaries of Occupants Cost of Operating and Maintaining Original Design and Construction 92%

9 Why? Innovation Employee Engagement Fresh Ideas Stimulates Innovation

10 Report by Deloitte Consulting LLP and Bersin by Deloitte Why Competition For Talent Global Human Capital Trends 2014 Engaging the 21st-century workforce Corporations now compete globally for increasingly scarce technical and professional skills. Companies that succeed in building a global supply chain for skills will be positioned for success in innovation and performance. While 75 percent of survey respondents rate workforce capability as an urgent or important challenge, only 15 percent believe they are ready to address it.

11 Why?: Talent Gaps Majority are High Urgency & Low Readiness

12 Why? Evolving FM Workforce Multi-generational workforce 29 million potential GenXers and Millennials Retiring FM Workforce 52 million positions to be filled 23 MILLION DEFICIT

13 Ask the right questions Why: Why is training so critical? What: What knowledge and skills are needed? How: Do you integrate competencies in to your talent management plan?

14 Top 10 Skills in FM 10. Numerical Know-How Most FMs aren t economists, mathematicians, or CPAs. But budgeting and financial planning are nevertheless important parts of the job. 9. Legal Eagle-bility A superhero FM doesn t need a law degree any more than a math degree, but having an appreciation for the impact that federal, state, and local law have on your facility is important. 8. Insider s Insight As an FM, you probably know a lot of about the Facility Management field. But what about your company s industry? 7. A Go-with-the-Flow Attitude A lot of leadership is intuitive, but good instincts can be learned. Are you generally easygoing, or are you naturally on edge? Either personality type can serve you well in different situations, but flexibility is an especially valuable trait for FMs. 6. Emergency Reflexes! Part of going with the flow means keeping calm in an emergency.

15 Top 10 Skills in FM 5. Project Leadership Facility Managers often double as Project Managers. 4. IT Savvy FMs may not need a background as software engineers, but the reality is that today s FM world is more technology-reliant than ever. 3. Sustainability Sustainability continues to trend not only as a buzzword but also as an emerging corporate value all around the world. 2. Cross-Networking Companies consist of numerous divisions that overlap. That s why FMs need the ability to network laterally across the entire organization with IT, HR, admin, other executives, etc. 1. People Skills At the end of the day, Facilities Management is all about the people you serve. Your ability to connect with, engage, and inspire the others around you will make the most determinative difference in your performance as an FM.
