This year, on May 8th, 2024, World Facilities Management Day (WFMD) will be celebrated globally to recognize the vital role of facility managers in maintaining the functionality and security of our workplaces and public spaces. The theme for WFMD this year is “Inspire, Integrate, Innovate: Ignite Your Career in FM.” This theme highlights the diverse skillset of facility managers and their ability to balance people, place, process, and technology to create safe, efficient, and productive environments for all.

Established in 2010 by Global Facilities Management (Global FM), WFMD serves as a platform to raise awareness about the significance of facility management and the career opportunities available in this essential field. It is a day to celebrate the often-overlooked heroes who keep our buildings running smoothly and manage essential services behind the scenes.

Facility managers are unsung heroes of the built environment who coordinate staff, oversee maintenance, and ensure the integrity of buildings. Their dedication to managing essential services and creating a safe and productive environment for everyone is vital in maintaining the beauty and functionality of our workplaces, schools, hospitals
