Hybrid working in FM is not office-style flexibility; it depends on which work is presence-critical. This guide helps employers decide how much presence a leader needs and design team patterns and cover rules, and helps candidates read the hybrid promise in a job advert, put it in writing and judge whether it is working, with fairness between site-based and office-based staff.
Hybrid Working and the FM Leader looks at what flexibility can honestly mean for people who run buildings. It is written for employers and for FM leaders weighing a role that promises hybrid working.
The guide separates the work that needs a physical presence from the work that does not, and shows how to build arrangements that are fair, written down and tied to outcomes.
What the guide covers
- What hybrid really means for an FM leader, and which work is presence-critical
- Being on site when risk is highest
- Reading the hybrid promise in a job, and the questions to ask
- Designing a team pattern: huddles, team days and clear cover rules
- Leading people you do not see every day, and running buildings when occupancy is uneven
- Negotiating and protecting your arrangement, fairness across teams and judging whether hybrid is working
