The facilities management industry has been suffering from a years-long labor shortage, and it isn’t expected to end anytime soon. Much to the surprise of older generations, Gen Z has taken an interest in having a career in trades, with many citing social media for the reason. Since the rise of TikTok and Instagram Reels during the COVID-19 pandemic, many people have taken to giving viewers a behind-the-scenes look on their daily jobs, and facilities management is not excluded from this.
As the algorithm becomes more tailored for personal preference, FacilitiesNet is seeking responses on what social media platforms facility managers use for work. Whether it’s just mindless scrolling or to hone in on a new skill, we want to hear from you. Responses will be used in a future FacilitiesNet article, but don’t worry, we won’t publish your name or facility – we'll just relay your story.
