IFMA’s FMForward Podcast hits 2,500 downloads

Boston, MA The IFMA Boston FMForward podcast has hit 2,500 downloads. This is FM Forward, a podcast brought to you by IFMA Boston and hosted by Jackie Falla, about the rapidly changing landscape of facility management and how to remain on top of your game. In the first two seasons they investigated all the ways in which risk can plague your organization, the myriad, and chaotic ways in which your business operations can be disrupted and techniques for avoiding, mitigating, transferring or accepting these risks – in the interest of your company. They then took a deep dive into COVID allowing the listeners up-to-the-minute information on engaging employees, mitigating risk, keeping our employees safe, and beginning the planning back to the workplace.

In their third season they started to address each of IFMA’s 11 Core Competencies one by one to take a closer look at each, how it affects our facilities and how their FMs can take a proactive role in addressing each in their workplace.
