2. IMPACT OF COVID-19

Company has followed guidelines issued by the government and has taken all the steps to ensure safety of its worker and employees. Further, the company had strong business continuity plan during the pandemic and so there was continuity in the business and no break down was noticed during the year. The COVID-19 pandemic disrupted even the most well-managed workplaces and turned normalcy on its head. Since the pandemic took hold, facilities managers have battled back to explore new opportunities for remote work or socially distant workplaces.

Facility management plays an important role in dealing with COVID-19 to create a safe work environment. The impact of COVID-19 for facility managers also extends to facility policies. FMs face the tedious task of re-educating employees and visitors about how to interact with the workplace consisting of everyone and everything in it.

To survive this pandemic, company need to focus on customer care and concerns, stay connected to customers as per their channel choice, build agile capabilities for fluid times, and adapt to situation-based circumstances. Organizations would need to rethink their business and operating models.

Consumers' search for value for money is a fundamental change in purchase priorities and will be prevalent in the upcoming years.
