ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Institute of Workplace and Facilities Management

The Institute of Workplace and Facilities Management is like a club for people who work in buildings or help make those buildings nice and a good place to be.

Think of going to visit your friend's house. If your friend's mom or dad cleaned up the house, made sure the lights worked, and made the furniture comfortable, you would enjoy visiting more, right?

Well, the Institute of Workplace and Facilities Management helps make sure that buildings, like your friend's house, are taken care of and comfortable for everyone who works or visits there.

There are lots of jobs involved in doing this, like cleaning, fixing broken things, making sure the air and water are safe, and even designing the way offices, stores, and restaurants look.

If you join the Institute, you get to learn more about these jobs and how they help make buildings better places to be in. You'll also get to meet other people who care about this kind of work and talk to them about how to make buildings safe, healthy, and nice for everyone who uses them.
