What today's facilities management finance professionals really want from employers

The facilities management finance market has become more selective.

The demand for experienced facilities management finance professionals continues to evolve.

While overall talent growth has remained relatively stable, more than 2,032 finance professionals changed roles during the past year. The movement is still there. It has simply become more selective. Experienced professionals are choosing employers that align with their long-term career goals, rather than moving for salary alone.
