Looking Ahead – What Should Facilities
Managers Be Thinking About To Stay Ahead Of The Game?
By Delphine Guerrier, Global Commercial Operations at Chubb
Over the past year we’ve faced many challenges. Many workplaces have been closed and employees have had to move to remote working en masse. Facility managers must now be able to provide added value when helping customers clearly define their new normal. Whether this involves occupancy limit per room, air quality monitoring, access control reinforcement, processes to alert relevant people or the use of remote, connected services are in high demand.
At Chubb, we have compiled a checklist of essential considerations for facilities managers in the fire and security sector to help with these conversations.
As businesses reopen and colleagues start to return to the workplace, many employers
Addressing Changes From Hybrid Working are faced
with hybrid working
conditions. This means that traditional business practices may no longer be sufficient and there are fresh challenges facing teams.
How many people are actually in your buildings today? This question is not easy to answer. Facility management teams can benefit from technical solutions for people counting like accurate touchless access control systems or easy to use advanced video analytics to help solve this issue.
Remote services can be a critical tool used to manage this shift and the introduction of new processes. Increased monitoring for both fire and security is needed to ensure that building and facilities managers are aware of access across a building which is essential to managing complex processes such as an evacuation, safety test or even just the usual flow of people.
When it comes to facilities management, preparedness is everything.

Ensuring Early Detection managers
and building services teams
must be constantly vigilant and aware of the people and assets within a building. This means that teams can respond efficiently and effectively to threats. Video analytics is a key tool that can have a significant impact of the time it takes to reliably identify and respond to an issue. As an industry, video analytics benefit from constant innovation and so it is very accessible and can be installed and maintained quickly and effectively.
