In the world of organization and management, a team is akin to a working clock. It takes a unified system to accomplish a significant task and everyone with a designated duty to make sure the group meets that mission. When one part breaks or functions poorly, it creates a domino effect and dismantles the entire foundation. Without strategy and direction, we cannot have a uniform system which is the underlying support for facility management. 

Leaders are essential to facility management because they take the reins of an operation and, with their team, lead their clientele to victory. Today’s Omnia 360 discusses how integrating organizational leadership benefits facility management, shaping strong system leaders and managers. 

Introduce Quality Leaders Into Your Management Team

The first step to structuring the work environment for organizational integration is introducing quality leaders to the facility management team. A quality leader puts the needs of others first. They are a hub of information, education, constructive criticism, and trust among their workplace allies. We find people with the experience and passion for our core values, incorporating honesty, respect, and effective communication into every delegated task. 

Technical Skills and Training

Facility managers need the technical skills and training to lead their staff and achieve a common goal efficiently. We handpick leaders to understand the flow of the company and how to work amicably with a team. Facility management is a system of moving parts representing their home company and their clientele organizations. We train leaders to motivate staff, listen to the needs of their subgroups, and create a pleasant workspace. Organizational leadership training grooms these quality individuals to implement such characteristics to efficiently react to new challenges, support staff, and create a family-like community.  

Assigning Responsibility

In terms of responsibility and reaching a goal, trust is fundamental to the work environment. Responsibilities stretch beyond the surface level needs of a company; it delves into operations, target setting, financial management, and more. These are heavy tasks for one person or even one small team to manage. It takes belief to hold your workers accountable for their assignments. Those superior employees act as role models in their corresponding departments, taking the lead and fulfilling the objectives for the company. Assigning responsibility and demonstrating confidence in your team is a part of organizational leadership. 

Setting a Performance Standard 

Healthy competition is an effective driving force for a facility management or operations team. Setting a bar or performance standard to reach polishes team efforts to defy their doubts and target personal goals. Creating a plan to get draws out personal development skills and leadership abilities employees never realized they could accomplish. This form of organizational leadership reinforces workplace motivation and picks out premium leaders among the crowd.

Efficiency is the goal of every company as technology advances and innovation rises. Efficiency is often seen as the secret key to getting ahead of your competitors. 

We believe this is the case at Omnia 360. In today’s blog, our facilities management experts will talk about the benefits your company can expect from hiring a facilities management company like us.

Specialized Focus On Skill Set

At Omnia360, we focus on connecting our partnered companies with the top professionals in the industry they need for maintaining their facilities. This means no streaks on those floor-to-ceiling glass windows. Empty trash cans every morning. Inspections are passed every quarter, and groundskeeping is always up to par. 

It Results in Performance Efficiency

We focus on providing one point of contact between your business and our services. Since we are able to micro-focus that point of contact, we’re able to maximize performance efficiency. If we’re outsourcing your need to a company that specializes in fixing it, then we’re helping you maximize the amount of time spent waiting for it to be fixed. 

For example, instead of waiting for a maintenance man to find a way to clean your windows, professionals who understand the importance of commercial window cleaning will arrive on time, and ready wipe away all of your worries and pollen-associated sneezes…every time!

Which Results in Monetary Efficiency

According to IMFA.org, the Facilities Management department is allocated one of the largest budgets in your company. What if you could outsource that? Outsourcing maintenance and routine care means you’re spending your funds on quality, and not necessarily the quantity, of people that would require being on company payroll. Only one payment would be needed to pay for our services, while receiving top professional support each call.

Daily maintenance can be a hassle financially and time-wise. We understand that here at Omnia360. 

We do our best to make sure your small business, restaurant, corporate office, hospital, factory, or facility remains clean so you don’t have to worry about the hassle. 

We are a professional facility management company, and we offer a variety of much-needed services for the business world. In today’s blog, our experts will talk about four facilities management services you didn’t know you needed. 

Window Washing

Cleaning large windows is tedious, so why not hire a company that specializes in professional commercial window cleaning services? Here at Omnia360, we focus on providing one point of contact for your services. We schedule our team to be on site during times that are not distracting for your employees, and we ensure our team prioritizes safety. We know window washing specialists who will make your place look great. 

Trash Collection

Not all trash collection is included with your site’s utility bill. If your office wants to recycle the leftover paper or have appropriate bins for the various recycling methods, then they’ll likely need to be provided by a facility management company. Our team will go through after hours and collect all of your waste to be taken to the waste management facility for you. It is convenient, simple, and efficient.

Air Filter Changes

Commercial air filters should be changed three to four times yearly. Believe it or not, this actually has to be performed by an individual that is licensed to look over your HVAC system and remove any debris that could be cycling into your employee workspaces. Hiring a facility management company to handle this for your company is the best route.

An office HVAC system is large and requires a lot of care. Having a third party that is specialized to perform seasonal maintenance is the best avenue to go for both insurance reasons and cost-effectiveness.

Safety Inspections

Did you know that you should be doing site-oriented safety inspections monthly? Did you know that quarterly inspections for the entire facility are mandatory for a business? 

They definitely both are. If you’re wondering what your inspection should look like, just ask OSHA. They are the administration responsible for health and safety across all of the business world in the U.S. 

Having a facility management team to care for the inspection requirements your company will have to meet to remain OSHA-compliant will keep your space open and legal for your employees to thrive within.

Adam Heaton, one of our dynamic leaders and the Vice President of Business Development, was asked to weigh in on what makes you a good salesperson.

His response?

Positivity.

“There can be natural friction between operations and sales teams at many companies. Casting a positive vision for each sale helps the operations team understand their importance in the company and the sales team’s appreciation of the effort and skill they provide. Similarly, a positive approach with potential customers lays the foundation for overcoming adversity together.”

Adam’s positivity is one reason why he’s a vice president with Omnia360 Facility Solutions. His passions include building relationships and problem-solving for customers.

Is it a good idea to hire an on-call mobile mechanic? There are several reasons why this could be a great option for your facilities, especially when you want to save money. In today’s blog from Omnia360, we discuss the benefits of hiring an on-call mobile mechanic for your facilities.

On-Call Mobile Mechanics Can Save on FTE Benefits 

You’ve been doing this long enough, so you understand the cost of doing business. And your number-one investment is people. This means time spent hiring and training new employees. It means offering costly benefits packages, as well as perks like paid holidays, personal days off, and office space. While these are necessary, hiring someone who isn’t considered a full-time employee can save you money while keeping your business running as efficiently as possible. 

With our one-call facility management solution and mobile services, you have the convenience of having a mechanic on your property quickly, ready to assess and fix any issues. No need to wait on an independent company to call you back and make an appointment days in advance. This translates to reduced downtime and asset protection. 

Complement Your Current Staff

If you have a team of mechanics on staff, chances are they are busy keeping the facilities operating through day-to-day issues, upkeep, and regular maintenance. Emergencies, major failures, and specialized repairs can overtask your regular team. Technically challenging issues in the middle of the night or on the weekend can further strain your workforce, throwing off the flow of operations and increasing overtime. These situations cost time, money, and operational resources. 

There are also concerns regarding staff absences, dismissals, and vacations. As HR-related issues occur, will you have enough staff to handle not only the day-to-day operations but emergencies as well? 

By contracting a mobile mechanic for facility management, you can call them when issues arise. They can be on-premise to fix the problems quickly and efficiently without the rest of your staff becoming overworked and overburdened. 

On the Premises Only When Needed

How many times have you staffed a mechanic overnight or on the weekends for ‘just in case’ scenarios? Just in case a pipe freezes. Just in case the heating unit goes down. 

When nothing freezes and everyone stays warm, it turns out the mechanic wasn’t needed. That’s great news, except you just spent hundreds of dollars on unneeded labor. 

Labor dollars can add up quickly. The more hours, the higher the dollars. With an on-call mechanic from Omnia360, they are only on the ground or in the building when you need them. This reduces labor costs because you’re only paying for staff when they’re needed. This allows you to focus your investments on facility upgrades and higher profitability.
