Eric Termuende is Co-founder of NoW Innovations Canada, an international speaker, and bestselling author of the book “Rethink Work”. Mike Petrusky asks Eric about his mission to change the way we talk about work and his thoughts on the role that facility managers might play in the workplace of the future. Eric and Mike share a similar philosophy about the importance of real human connections and the value of finding a sense of belonging in our workplace communities. They discuss how FMs can influence the ways their organizations attract and retain talent by understanding our fears and meeting the needs of the stakeholders in a facility. Eric reflects on the inspiration and information he received when interviewing many industry thought-leaders during the Future Proof Summit in 2017, which included a couple of our friends from the “FM Innovator Nation”. Changing the culture of work is an effort that requires involvement by all departments of an organization and Eric believes that facility professionals are uniquely qualified to help deliver messages to their teams while improving employee engagement.
