Description
Over time, technologies and preferred practices in building operations and maintenance change. Providing regular professional development opportunities is a good way to help retain staff. Offering training and educational opportunities related to environmental/sustainable building performance not only benefits staff but improves the performance of the building when staff training is applied at the building level.
