Seattle IFMA Workplace Excellence Committee |
|
Each of us across our Greater Seattle Chapter bring value to some part of the fabric of Facilities Management - a terrifically dynamic, ever evolving and changing body of work requiring dedication to management, innovation, and transformation of the built environment. The very nature of the facility work environment drives the need for adapting and creating an interconnected, standardized framework of new technology and business process such that your business objectives may be realized…and exceeded, from the customer’s perspective.
Morphing the topics of people, work and place requires a unique ability to connect the worlds of organizational thinking, workplace strategy, business needs, workplace design, technology, supplier partnerships and change management. Welcome to the Workplace Excellence (‘WE') Committee. WE provide a forum for engaging, promoting and sharing a common interest about the many changing workplace experiences.
The core goals of the Workplace Excellence Committee are 1) to promote knowledge transfer and industry best practices from around the chapter, 2) to stimulate workplace innovation and drive the application of technology for the evolving role of an FM, and 3) to open a forum for new ideas about the transformation and modernization of FM into successful outcomes for our organizations. Anyone may contribute, everyone is welcome to join in the conversations!
The Seattle WE Committee is currently working to closely align closely with the mission, values and focus areas of IFMA’s Workplace Evolutionaries Community. Join us as we share and promote many beneficial resources and highly-interactive learning and networking opportunities. The Seattle WE Committee aims to partner closely with the chapter’s Education and Program Committees to coordinate and endorse a useful learning library of content, Lunch and Learn activities, and a meaningful calendar of roundtable discussion topics.
