The document discusses how facility management (FM) can shift from a cost center to a value center by integrating with workplace productivity and talent management. It argues FM risks falling back into a reactive, cost-focused role without this shift. To make the shift, FM departments must quantify how their activities impact core business functions like marketing, human resources, and risk management. This helps demonstrate FM's alignment with key performance drivers like skilled staff and technology. Integrating FM with information technology and human resources can further increase workplace productivity and enterprise value.
