Online Event: Innovative Solutions Driving Change in the FM Market

What is the impact of the current restrictions on the Facility Management service industry and how to maintain a workforce ready to respond to a future sizable level of reoccupation? To explore innovative solutions driving change in the FM industry and release the joint ‘European FM Provider Report’, Drees & Sommer and RICS are hosting an online event on 17 November.
