The C-Suite rarely understands the value of facility management. Too often the department is seen as a necessary cost rather than an opportunity for company advancement and growth. Facility managers need to change this perception or continue to be left out of important discussions.

To get that coveted seat at the table, managers need to align the vision and mission of their department with the organization's overall goals. Creating this clarity will help when advocating for resources and setting the direction for the implementation of new practices and projects.
