FMJ Facilities Management magazine providing industry-specific intelligence to FM and property professionals
Eptura’s Flex/25 event, held on May 13 at the Biltmore Hotel in Mayfair, brought together professionals from real estate, facilities management, HR, and technology sectors to discuss the future of workplace innovation. The event, fittingly taking place the day before World FM Day, featured Eptura’s vision and product roadmap, informative keynotes, and panel discussions providing guidance on the key business challenges that coexist with creating efficient buildings and workplaces. The event was described as an opportunity9 for learning and growth by Eptura CEO Brandon Holden, who emphasised the importance of smaller, more intimate events in fostering deep engagement and knowledge exchange.
The day centred around Eptura’s unified platform and latest innovations. After a live poll among attendees showed that the biggest challenge of workplace strategy and employee satisfaction is creating a frictionless experience Kev Jones, VP of Product Management at Eptura, discussed how they have been investing in tooling to help individuals better connect with not just the people in their workplaces but also those spaces themselves, to ultimately deliver ROI for organisations. Their newly integrated product platforms now mean improved user experience, privacy controls, platform customisation, and increased security due to there simply being one profile to maintain and manage. Further, Jones explained that combining user and data level integration delivers improved workflows and better analytics, and how this is increasingly important as office attendance across industries continues to rise. Meaning it is more important than ever to have seamless user experience as Jones, and later in her talk Madi Hanc from Unwork, reiterated that employee experience should be the metric of success for any organisation.
