The Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (RICS) has published an article considering the role of facilities management professionals in the post-coronavirus (COVID-19) era
RICS considers how emphasis on hygiene will remain in place, the greater appetite for evidence led decision-making and reimagining for purposeful use of space.

Lexis®Library update: RICS President, Kath Fontana, said: ‘If the office of the future is likely to be smaller, it’s also likely to be more collaborative because the purpose of workplaces is changing. The reasons to go into the office will need to be more compelling and employees will have a new set of outcomes in mind. Technology, wellbeing, sustainability and flexibility will be the key drivers of change.’
