Enhancing Workplace Engagement, Collaboration, and Mental Health through Green Spaces

This white paper explores the potential benefits of implementing urban farms, specifically the Square Mile Farming model, within the MAR facilities management offering.

The focus is on how these urban farms can provide green edible food for employees, foster an inviting co-working workspace for engagement and colleague collaboration, embrace green living walls in office spaces, and create a green workplace environment that supports the mental health of employees and visitors to the building.

To illustrate the viability of this approach, specific examples from the UK and London office environments will be discussed, highlighting how growing plants at work can benefit us all.

MAR Facilities Management’s Proactive and Eco-friendly Solution

The exponential increase in bed bug infestations within central London has caused significant distress among office workers. Not only are they exposed to potential bed bugs while commuting in public places, but there is also a legitimate concern that their workplace may be infected. The presence of bed bugs in offices, though less prevalent due to footfall, still poses a heightened chance of exposure due to regular occupation of offices. This pressing issue necessitates a proactive and effective solution to alleviate the concerns of office workers and ensure their continued presence in the workplace.

MAR Facilities Management presents a workable solution that emphasises the urgency and seriousness of addressing this problem in a timely way and cost-effective way.

As 2023 slowly heads towards the sunset and disappears over the horizon, it’s that traditional time in the calendar to step back and reflect upon the year that was.

For most individuals – from an economic and financial standpoint – that reflection will conclude that the past 12 months has undoubtedly continued to be a struggle.

Against this backdrop, the significance of the work being carried out by the Living Wage Foundation seems more important than ever. This white paper reflects upon those sterling efforts and explores how companies like MAR FM can really make a difference to people’s everyday lives.

Rethinking Facilities Management in the Post-Covid Era.

This white paper aims to shed light on the evolving role of facilities management (FM) in the context of both hard and soft service provision within office spaces. With the advent of the Covid-19 pandemic and the subsequent rise of hybrid working models, FM professionals are faced with new challenges that demand innovative solutions. This paper examines the changing landscape of FM and highlights how MAR Facilities Management is uniquely positioned to support organisations in navigating these challenges.

Unleashing Sustainable Opportunities in today’s ‘Built Environment’

In today’s rapidly evolving business landscape, Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) factors have emerged as crucial pillars of success and long-term growth. This white paper serves as a comprehensive guide for MAR Facilities Management to understand why ESG credentials matter in both soft and hard FM services in the built environment. By leveraging these credentials, MAR can enhance its existing loyal customer base and attract new potential customers in a sustainable future.

How Covid and hybrid working have changed the game.

The pandemic has given society the breathing space to redesign what a workplace should offer and in the age of the invisible virus, the humble mop and bucket will not cut it.   

The mass experience of the recent pandemic has changed the way we all look at cleanliness and hygiene. Covid-19 redesigned the way we operate in large groups in public spaces, on transport, venues and workspaces. This virus did not discriminate: all environments had to adapt to government compliant mandates for safety. Offices, construction sites, retail, sports facilities, public venues, theatres, hotels and restaurants all experienced the impact of being starved from engagement from their usual end users.
