Building a Sustainable FM Workforce: Highlights from IFMA Denver’s Labor Shortage Panel
On a bright spring morning, IFMA Denver members gathered for a powerful breakfast panel exploring one of the industry’s most urgent challenges: the labor shortage in facilities management. Held in celebration of World FM Day, the event brought together professionals from across Colorado to discuss real-world solutions and innovative workforce strategies.
Panelists included:
- Max Segall, Sales and Marketing Professional at Preferred Painting
- Vimol Mitchell, CFM, FMP, SFP, 2025–26 IFMA Denver Chapter President and Associate Director of Building Maintenance & Operations at the University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus
- Moderator: Justin Gallo, CFM, Facilities & Administrative Services Manager at the Daniels Fund and IFMA Denver’s Education VP
The discussion centered around building sustainable workforce pipelines through internship programs, apprenticeships, and customized training. Vimol Mitchell shared CU Anschutz’s evolving approach, highlighting their partnerships with local trade schools, non-profits, and real estate programs. Since launching their internship program in 2008, CU has seen over 50 interns participate, with 15 becoming full-time employees.
Panelists also addressed retention through mentorship, pay equity, and upskilling opportunities. One major takeaway was that building the next generation of facility managers requires collaboration across industries, education, and leadership.
To cap off the morning, facility managers in attendance received a special gift in honor of World FM Day, recognizing the essential role they play in keeping our spaces running smoothly.
Stay tuned for more engaging events from IFMA Denver as we continue to tackle the big topics shaping our industry.
Greener Spaces, Smarter Practices
Sustainability is a fundamental expectation in today’s built environment. As environmental concerns grow and businesses become increasingly conscious of their impact, sustainability practices are no longer a “nice to have” but an essential part of responsible operations. Across Colorado and beyond, many large businesses are taking steps to reduce their environmental impact, and the commercial cleaning industry plays a vital role in that transformation.
Green cleaning is more than simply switching to products labeled “eco-friendly”. It represents a comprehensive approach that reduces environmental harm, promotes healthier indoor air quality, protects workers and building occupants and contributes to long term operational efficiency.
What Green Cleaning Really Means:
Effective green cleaning is a holistic system designed to minimize health risks and environmental damage. Key components of modern green cleaning programs include:
- Safer, less toxic cleaning products
- Energy efficient and low impact equipment
- Sustainable packaging and recyclable paper products
- Standardized procedures to reduce waste and conserve resources
When implemented properly, green cleaning programs not only improve health and environmental outcomes but can also drive meaningful returns on investment by reducing long-term costs and improving staff and occupant satisfaction.
Addressing Hidden Hazards: PFAS in Floor Finishes:
A critical, and often overlooked, component of sustainable cleaning is the elimination of harmful chemicals like PFAS. These “forever chemicals” break down extremely slowly and persist in soil and the environment. They’ve historically been used in floor finishes for their water, stain and scuff resistance, as well as for providing a long-lasting shine.
However, growing evidence links PFAS to serious health risks, including reproductive harm and negative impact on workers and building occupants. Due to these concerns, states across the country are banning PFAS. In January 2026, Colorado will join that movement by banning PFAS in various products, including cleaning chemicals.
What can you do? Switch to Green Seal-certified products, which prohibit the use of PFAS and implement these safer, certified alternatives into your daily practices – protecting people and planet without compromising performance.
Sustainability Practices in Action:
Forward thinking cleaning companies have adopted a wide range of practices to support sustainability goals, including:
· CRI Certified Equipment: ensure all cleaning equipment meets CRI Green Label standards, to reduce emissions and ensure high performance.
· Water Conservation: use low water scrubbers and chemical dilution systems to reduce water and transportation weight of chemicals, thereby reducing plastic waste
· Battery-Powered Equipment: replace corded vacuums with high-efficiency battery-powered HEPA filtrated models to increase productivity, improve air quality, reduce energy consumption, eliminate trip hazards, and lower overall costs
· Green Chemicals and Recyclables: use bio-based, non-toxic cleaning agents and recyclable paper products and packaging
· Microfiber Tools: Reuse mops and cloths to cut down on chemicals, water, single-use plastics, and packaging waste
· Recycling and Waste Reduction: deploy color coded bins and site-specific recycling programs, including landfill, recycle and compost sorting, support client waste diversion goals.
· Training and Awareness: conduct ongoing multilingual training with all staff to make sure everyone understands how to implement sustainable practices, including proper disposable methods and sorting recyclable and compostable waste.
Why This Matters for Your Business
Clients today are placing increasing importance on Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) factors. Partnering with a janitorial service that prioritizes green practices can help businesses:
· Improve air quality for employees and visitors
· Reduce operational costs through efficient product and equipment use
· Increase employee satisfaction and productivity
· Strengthen brand reputation and competitive positioning
In an evolving market where sustainability is a differentiator, embracing eco-friendly cleaning isn’t just about doing good, it’s about staying relevant, compliant and cost effective as well.

Painting the Town “Green”
These days, it seems everyone is looking for ways to make their buildings green. No, not green as in the color, green as in more sustainable. While HVAC, Lighting and Building Envelope systems often dominate the conversation, painting and coatings are an element which can also make buildings more ecofriendly.
Historically, the paint industry is full of chemicals and waste, but those are the days of old. In recent years, paint has seen huge advances in technology. Previously, paint had been made with extremely harmful chemicals, including lead. Then, Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) gained notoriety, as chemicals that help in the drying process but dry up at room temperature and disperse into the air as harmful air quality. This is the reason why paint has such a unique and powerful smell. These chemicals are not only harmful to occupants, but they are also harmful to the planet.
Colorado has since implemented VOC limits on products such as paint, and paint manufacturers have had to find alternative solutions to keep providing products. One such outcome is Zero or Low VOC paints. These products have become commonplace in Colorado, often being used in areas where there is high traffic or occupancy, in addition to LEED Certified Buildings. LEED requirements follow low-emitting materials and the Zero and Low VOC paints typically meet those requirements.
Another method manufacturers have used to make the painting industry more environmentally friendly is by offering water-based products versus the traditional oil-based products. Oil based products were used for their durability and water resistance, but they are incredibly harmful to humans, containing multiple carcinogens. Once again, the manufacturers were forced to adapt. Water-based paint is now used regularly throughout the market, because it has great adhesion and has considerably lower VOCs than its predecessor.
Now, let’s talk about disposal: Previously, paint has been hard to dispose of due to its chemical composition and the availability of specialized disposal facilities. Now, there is a Paint Stewardship Program in Colorado that charges a small fee on all sales of new paint, which in turn helps fund the proper disposal and recycling of the product. Many paint retail stores offer a recycling program, where you can return up to 5 gallons for free. There are also multiple programs that offer free pick up of larger quantities, and these include staining products.
Paint isn’t the only harmful chemical that is used though in the painting industry. There are paint thinners, solvents, and adhesives. Luckily, Colorado also provides a way to dispose of those through Hazardous Waste disposal as well. It is up to the project owner to specify the products, and to encourage their contractor to employ best practices, in order to balance the triple bottom line of Sustainability.
There are also ways that contractors can help make painting greener. By using the correct tools, they can help cut down on wasted materials, thereby increasing efficiency. This allows a contractor to more accurately estimate materials, resulting in even less wasted products. Adaptable and adjustable tip sprayers are one such important innovation. Each tip is designed specifically for different applications, which reduces overspray and unnecessary overuse of materials. Another way contractors can help make a difference is by reusing and recycling drop cloths whenever possible. Despite the perception of previously used cloths, it’s much more sustainable to use what a Contractor already has, rather than throwing them away in a landfill before their time, just to have “clean” looking cloths on the next jobsite.
These advancements helped push our buildings towards a Greener future, and we expect that more are yet to come. The painting industry has a legacy of being a dangerous, hazardous and wasteful industry, so there is a long way to go. When we work together, we find that there are plenty of ways that contractors, manufacturers and building maintenance professionals can work to make the world a better, cleaner, and healthier place.

Building the Future of FM – One Standard at a Time
In May, I had the privilege of being part of a team that represented the United States at the ISO Technical Committee (TC) 267 Facility Management meeting in Toronto, Canada. ISO TC 267 is part of an international effort to shape the future of facility management by developing global standards.
With representatives from 53 countries, TC267 has been working toward a shared goal of progressing the international FM standards initiative since 2012. These standards are designed to strengthen our profession by promoting consistency, innovation, sustainability, and, ultimately, an improved quality of life in the built environment. This year’s meeting was especially productive.
Major Milestones
One of the biggest highlights was the progress we made on ISO 41001, the foundational standard for FM. As a member of Working Group 9 for Leadership and Innovation, I worked alongside my international colleagues to refine the full document. The revised framework is being updated to reflect current trends and prepare to meet future challenges — everything from aligning with related ISO management standards to supporting the wellbeing of people and the environment.
We also celebrated the completion of ISO 41002 (not yet published), which focuses on defining Facility Management Organizations (FMOs). This new standard will offer clear guidance on what constitutes an FMO, the various forms it can take, how tasks and responsibilities are organized, and other essential considerations for effective facility management organizations. We expect it to be published by late 2025 or early 2026, and believe it will be a game-changer for the industry.
Published Standards
Since 2017, TC 267 has published the following standards. Many of these are guidance documents that can be very useful to FMs as we work to improve our operations:
- 41001:2018 – Facility management — Management systems — Requirements with guidance for use
- 41011:2024 – Vocabulary
- 41012:2017 – Guidance on strategic sourcing and the development of agreements
- 41013:2017 – Facility management — Scope, key concepts and benefits
- 41014:2020 – Facility management — Development of a facility management strategy
- 41015:2023 – Facility management — Influencing organizational behaviours for improved facility outcomes
- ISO/TR 41016:2024 – Facility management — Overview of available technologies
- 41017:2024 – Facility management — Guidance on emergency preparedness and management of an epidemic
- 41018:2022 – Facility management — Development of a facility management policy
- ISO/TR 41019:2024 – Facility management’s role in sustainability, resilience and adaptability
- ISO/TR 41030:2024 – Facility management — Existing performance management in FM organizations — State of the industry
Standards Under Development
- 41002 – Facility management – Development of the facility management organization
- 41021 – Facility management — Guidance on maintenance management
Why It Matters
Global standards might seem far removed from day-to-day FM work, but they can have real impact. They create a common language and framework for excellence, help organizations improve performance, and elevate FM as a strategic discipline.
These standards don’t just emerge from a black box. They are written by people in our industry — people like you and me. If you’re interested in contributing, I encourage you to get involved through your national standards body. Together, we’re not just supporting best practices — we’re helping shape the future of our profession one standard at a time.

Workforce Development

Workforce Development in Facility Management
In a world increasingly driven by technology and digitization, the built environment remains a fundamental part of human life. Every hospital, school, high-rise, warehouse, and government facility requires the dedicated oversight of skilled professionals. Facility Management (FM), once seen as a behind-the-scenes necessity, is now being recognized as a vital profession. Yet the path to entering this career is often non-linear and deeply personal.
The Path into the Profession
Unlike more traditional career routes, most Facility Management professionals do not start their careers with FM in mind. Many arrive through engineering, construction, custodial work, operations, or military service. Some individuals enter the industry by responding to job postings that list the title as “maintenance technician” or “building engineer.” Others grow up in a skilled trades household, following in the footsteps of parents or mentors who taught them the importance of craftsmanship and operational excellence.
What draws people in, often unknowingly at first, is the tangible impact they have on the spaces where people live, work, heal, and learn. FM professionals come to realize that their work has a direct impact on comfort, safety, sustainability, and functionality. That awareness of being the invisible hand behind a functioning space is where the passion often begins.
Passion for the Built Environment
There is a unique pride in managing the life cycle of a building. Facility professionals are systems thinkers connected to how heating, cooling, lighting, water, and safety systems integrate to serve people. They often speak of the built environment in terms of stewardship, caring for something larger than themselves that serves entire communities.
Passion in this field is not always flashy, but it is enduring. FM's may be found in troubleshooting a failing HVAC system during a hospital emergency, leading a retrofit that dramatically reduces energy consumption, or preserving the integrity of a century-old structure.
This passion needs cultivation. Workforce development in facility management must extend beyond technical training; it needs to emphasize mentorship, career mapping, and opportunities for leadership development. As the current workforce ages, the need for storytelling, hands-on training, and early exposure in schools and trade programs is critical.
What Keeps People in the Industry A sense of purpose often drives longevity in FM. Facility professionals know they are essential. During crises, pandemics, and power outages, they are frontline responders. They are also increasingly recognized as key players in sustainability and ESG (Environmental, Social, Governance) strategies. The shift toward smart buildings, carbon reduction, and resilience has transformed FM into a space of innovation and long-term career growth.
Supportive work cultures, professional certifications (such as those offered by IFMA), and a clear path to advancement are essential for retaining talent. When organizations invest in training and mentorship for FM roles, they not only create workers but also advocates for the built environment.
More Than a Job
Facility Management is more than a job; it is a profession built on pride, stewardship, and problem-solving. To create a sustainable workforce, we must honor the stories of how people enter the industry, elevate the passion that drives them, and invest in tools that encourage them to stay.
The buildings around us are only as strong as the people who care for them. Workforce development in Facility Management must be treated with the same respect and intentionality as the buildings themselves, built to last, designed to grow, and sustained by passion.
As we explore the evolving landscape of Facility Management, particularly within the State of Colorado, we invite you to share your insights and experiences. Your feedback is vital to advancing the industry and strengthening the foundation on which our communities thrive.

Membership Spotlight
Member Spotlight: Pedro Barajas, Facility Maintenance Manager at Leprino Foods

This month, we’re proud to highlight Pedro Barajas, Facility Maintenance Manager at Leprino Foods—the world’s largest mozzarella cheese producer. Pedro joined Leprino in January and has already made waves in both his role and the IFMA community.
Pedro credits IFMA with helping him land his position and inspiring his professional growth. “It’s been a game-changer,” he says. “What started as attending social events turned into mentorship, leadership, and real career momentum.” Now, he oversees critical maintenance operations at a major food manufacturing site—where, yes, there’s pizza every Tuesday!
Leprino’s values of safety and doing things right the first time align with Pedro’s own principles. That drive led him to take on the role of Community Service Chair for IFMA, where he recently organized a volunteer day at the Denver Children’s Advocacy Center. “It felt good to use our skills where they really matter,” he shared.
Outside of work, Pedro is a die-hard Cowboys fan, loves golf, and listens to everything from Wu-Tang Clan to Metallica (yes, he’ll karaoke “One”—but only for a hefty fee). Fun fact? He once starred in a music video for the band Main Rock!
Whether it’s mentoring peers or painting stair rails, Pedro brings passion and purpose to all he does. We’re lucky to have him in our community!
👊 Keep shining, Pedro!

From teacher appreciation to food drives, Palace is proud to give back and support the people and communities that make Colorado home.
A Few Fun Facts About Jennifer
Jennifer has been married for 22 years and is the proud mom of an 18-year-old daughter pursuing cosmetology at the School of Paul Mitchell. “Need a haircut? I know someone!” she jokes.
She shares her home with two lovable pups—Harlee Sue, a Goldendoodle who resembles a poodle, and Jossi Jo, a tiny Shorkie with a big personality.
After work, you’ll likely find Jennifer cooking dinner and heading out for a peaceful walk—phone-free!—with her dogs.
Karaoke? “Not for this girl,” she says with a smile.
