Description

This course is suitable for anyone working in facilities management who needs to develop their communication skills, improve their working relationships and be more effective in their work.

In Facilities Management, technical abilities are not enough to ensure success, because a fundamental aspect of the role is communicating with a wide variety of people.

Many facilities personnel need support to develop the “soft side” of service delivery, and communication skills can spell the difference between success and failure in getting the job done.

The FM is one of very few roles that regularly deal with all levels of personnel in the organisation, from the most senior to the most junior, and across all disciplines and specialisms. The role requires varied and highly effective communication skills, which are essential to support technical expertise.

Facilities Management involves getting things done by people for other people, which natural communicators find easy. However everyone can improve this ability, and this course has been tailored to meet the unique communication needs, concerns and challenges of facilities management.
