VINCIsight

Full team ahead

At a time when employees are redefining their relationship with their employer and each other, VINCI Facilities’ Empower programme is building confident, united teams with a strong sense of purpose.

Building Safety: putting residents first

That sounds like the type of statement a dyed in the wool sceptic might make, but actually, the notion of measuring the true impact of social value is a real problem. Is it judged on the good the works do for people and communities, or do we need to find a monetary measure?

Minimising our environment impact: how do we do that?

It’s not straightforward, so we are following a guide: or what we call our Environmental Impact Reduction Roadmap. It is about delivering for our customers in a way that has respect for and allows for the protection of our environment and social wellbeing.

Social value: what’s it worth, really?

Fire Safety Compliance Guide

The Fire Safety Compliance Forum (FSCF) from Checkmate Fire comprises a diverse group of social landlords, consultants and contractors to specialist membership organisations, lawyers, and procurement framework experts - all active in the field of fire safety.

Workplace collaboration

The noise in the national and trade media about workplace make it seem complex. It’s not. A good workplace is one that allows people to perform to the best of the abilities. Workplace is about people and their roles, not about management jargon.

Cleaning for a Post Pandemic Workplace

Cleaning in public, multi-use spaces will never be the same again. Sanitization of our hands and the surfaces we touch is regarded as a vital component in combatting Covid-19. It has meant that cleaning is on the front line.

FM in Healthcare

FM teams are the unsung heroes working behind the scenes delivering services critical to their clients’ core operations. That is constant in all FM, but perhaps it is more important in healthcare than other sectors....

Net zero homes

The UK’s homes are one of the biggest producers of carbon. The UK Government wants to do something about it – which presents a huge opportunity for the housing, building and construction sectors. So, how do we get to net zero?

The science points to the fact that we in the middle of a climate crisis. You don’t have to be a scientist to know the facts. Actually, you don’t even have to have watched any BBC programmes featuring David Attenborough to have heard that climate change is here with us now and if it is not stopped, or even slowed, how we (and future generations) live our lives will be radically affected.

Evolving Retail

Britain was once described as a nation of shop keepers. That might not be strictly true, but we do like a quality retail experience, which is why it is one of the most dynamic of all sectors supported by VINCI Facilities and other FM service providers.

Customer relationships in the public sector

For any relationship to work there has to be give and take. Trust. You need to communicate – share news, feelings and concerns. For that trust to be maintained, to allow for the ebb and flow of feelings and changing situations it is vital to keep talking.

Customer relationships, Frameworks and two stage tendering in the public sector

Frameworks are a central part of VINCI Facilities work. They are an approved list. Literally, if you are on the framework for a particular programme of work or perhaps one of the more popular privately managed frameworks you are ‘in the frame’. You’re being considered for the work, but it is not always a given.
