"FMs in the retail and logistics sector are constantly battling to balance efficiency with customer demand, all while keeping to tight budgets. There are steps that FMs can take to increase productivity without stretching budgets to breaking point.
To protect vehicles and reduce the risk of trips and falls, FMs should ensure that floors are durable and well-maintained. Even minor surface damage can cause an accident when tripped over, or expensive damage to vehicles if they are driven over. Dividing this responsibility between the facility team and making sure they are all trained on how to report damage will help to minimise costs and protect FM workloads."
