At John Deere, safety, security comfort, convenience and cost are some of the parameters on which the facility function is gauged by all stakeholders. To meet these requirements, facility managers need to be proactive thinkers, agile learners and quick executors. “We practice continual feedback mechanism and effective communication strategy to keep our stakeholder updated. There are two angles to an efficient functioning of the building – one from employee’s perspective and the other from the management’s. Striking the right balance between the two is important for delivering efficiently,” says Bhamburkar.
