Overview
The long-awaited ISO 41001 Management Systems Standard (MSS) finally specifies a benchmark against which Facilities Management (FM) can be assessed and measured.
Very soon insurers, regulators, clients and shareholders will start to make ISO 41001 certification a prerequisite for doing business, as has become the case for other MSS’s, like ISOs 9001 or 14001.
Combining presentation and workshop sessions, this 2 day ISO 41001 training course provides you with an introduction to the MSS, and the benefits it can bring to your FM structure, resourcing and service delivery.
We then focus on each aspect of the MSS and how it applies to your own organisation, providing you with what you need to achieve compliance, certification, and significant operational improvements.
We are delivering our public ISO 41001 course in partnership with the Institute of Workplace and Facilities Management (IWFM).
