Plenty of careers, positions, and job descriptions include a very narrow and targeted scope of work. The role of facility manager is not one of them. Each day, facility managers at organizations, facilities, campuses, and businesses handle a huge range of tasks. Most of these duties are not one-off responsibilities, but rather they’re jobs that must be completed consistently every day in order to keep the facility safe, productive, effective, and compliant.

For many offices and workplaces around the country, this spring hasn’t just brought warmer weather and longer days. As COVID-19 restrictions and infection rates drop in the wake of increased vaccinations, many offices are beginning to open to employees for the first time in over a year.

Many offices and industrial workplaces are just now beginning the reopening process and bringing some or all of their staff back to in-person work.

With the rise in the availability of robotics and artificial intelligence (AI) in facility services, more and more tasks can be automated. This article will provide insight into what tasks can be automated to reduce staffing, how to streamline tasks that cannot, and what the future could hold for facilities services.

By adapting to these labor market shifts, facility managers can build resilience and success in the post-pandemic era.
