📊 Infographic: Empowering Employees in Green Buildings

The Problem: Green buildings fail to perform efficiently and lose their green certifications if operation and maintenance (O&M) practices are poor. The Solution: Total Productive Maintenance (TPM) — a strategy where everyone in the organization helps maintain the environment.

🔑 The 3 Keys to Employee Participation

The study found that 64.7% of an employee's likelihood to participate depends on these three factors:

Enabler	What it means in practice
🧠 1. Knowledge on TPM	Employees receive training to understand what TPM is and how they are empowered to help.
🗣️ 2. Communication	Staff actively share information and report building defects or abnormal conditions directly to the maintenance team.
💡 3. Awareness	Employees understand why their involvement matters and how their daily habits impact the building's green certification.

The Result: A highly efficient, sustainable building with optimized maintenance workloads, lower costs, and a successfully retained green certification.
