Over its extensive history, Facility Management (FM) has achieved significant milestones through associations like IFMA, GlobalFM, IWFM, and others, marking standardized practices, training programs, and growth in compensation. With a global perspective encompassing Africa, Asia, Europe, and North America, the research aims to assess the similarities and variations in various FM practices such as O&M practices, energy management, sustainability practices, and compensation structure.The study leveraged a methodical approach that involves design of electronic survey and data standardization. Data was analyzed with both descriptive and inferential statistical analyses.Key findings demonstrate significant regional variations in FM practices. Developed regions demonstrate advanced sustainability, energy management practices and higher O&M costs and compensation, indicative of economic development, technological adoption, and infrastructural advancement etc. Conversely, emerging FM markets in developing regions report lower salary structures and integration of sustainability practices. However, it was also found that while some regions (e.g., North America, Asia) reported higher nominal O&M costs, the proportion of the minimum wage allocated to cover these expenses is notably lower compared to other regions – Moreso, in Asia, FM salaries significantly exceed the minimum wage by up to 96% despite lower average salaries while in North America, where salaries are highest, the difference from the minimum wage is slightly lower.By undertaking this multi-region study, the research contributes to an understanding of FM dynamics across regions, fostering opportunities for benchmarking and enhancing the global perspective on FM practices and compensation.
