Hello and welcome to the August issue of Tomorrow’s FM.
Earlier this year I had the opportunity to visit the Royal Manchester University NHS Foundation Trust. In 2005, Sodexo was awarded a hard FM deal for five
of the nine hospitals that make up the Trust, which the NHS later extended to include the provision of soft FM services. Domestic, retail, portering, waste management, patient dining, help-desk and technical services are bundled together in a total facilities management (TFM) contract.
Pre-2014, Sodexo’s existing workforce management system was too antiquated and outdated for its 1200-strong workforce and the contemporary needs of the Trust. Lost productivity, hidden costs and suboptimal staff allocations were
culminating in a need for a more methodical and systematic way of working; a new solution to meet the growing complexities had become paramount.
Thus, began a relationship with workforce management software provider, Kronos Incorporated, who helped streamline Sodexo’s processes to fit the contemporary needs of the Trust. As always with facilities management, the
focus was not on the building itself, but the people and staff within it. You can read the full report on page 22.
Elsewhere, in the Design & Interiors feature, Office Principles explores
the growing ‘defurb’ trend spreading throughout the commercial property market and Active Workplace Solutions looks at the importance of the
agility in the shifting office landscape. Leach talks to Tomorrow’s FM about its recent project for high street retailer AllSaints in the Leisure & Retail
Facilities section, and Heckmondwike provides some flooring consideration for schools, colleges and universities.
