Abstract

How has COVID-19 impacted customer expectations for FM in a post COVID-19 workplace? In what areas and with what solutions can FM companies seize the opportunities emerging?

The connection between people and places has been disrupted in unprecedented ways. Businesses and FM providers need to adopt new ways to offer users safety and productivity both in the short and long term. These encompass utilizing a range of levers, from revised real estate strategies and hygiene and disinfection solutions through to rethinking and transforming workplaces, including but not limited to using technology and data to evidence safety and the quality of the workplace experience.

As always, during this time of the pandemic ISS has continued to provide adaptability and the expertise, people and technologies to our 59,000+ customers across 30+ countries that enable safe and stable working environments to keep businesses moving forward.
