Costs

Businesses are under pressure to keep costs low to protect profits. This is no different for Facilities departments, and challenges here include:

• Loss of budget due to economic factors
• Introduction of extra sanitisation measures

Efficiency

Facilities departments must be efficient in order to keep control of budgets. Examples of these challenges include:
