Most of us have been there, sticking to the familiar just because that’s the way things have always been done. Consider your school’s facilities management, for instance. When it comes to the appearance of your campus and its buildings, maybe you’ve fallen into the belief that while some things aren’t great, they’re “good enough?”
This isn’t the best outlook, since maintaining a pristine campus environment creates a positive experience for students and enhances your school’s overall image—things that are both essential for keeping enrollment high and raising funds.
Here are four easy-to-spot signs that your in-house facilities management situation might be in need of a shakeup:
- You’re regularly being surprised with unanticipated expenses (“that building needs a new roof, pronto”) at a time when the fiscal budget is already spent. You want these items on your radar before you allocate funds.
- Your HR team spends an inordinate amount of time on the facilities management department—employee retention, training, issue resolution, etc.
- Things always seem to be in a reactive mode, maintenance-wise.
- You’re simply tired of hearing complaints about how things on campus work or look.
By partnering with the right professionals for your facilities management, you can effectively “flip the switch,” ensuring you have a college or university campus that always looks great—and where potential problems are always handled proactively so issues rarely arise. Doing this not only dramatically improves your campus’s appearance, it can also add up to significant cost-savings while freeing your HR resources.
If the bloom’s a bit off the rose with regard to how your campus facilities are being maintained, it might be time to see how greener the grass can be on the other side. National adapts to each school’s unique needs and to almost any budget. We’re happy to talk, anytime.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]
