Future Perfect
When EY (Ernst & Young) undertook the massive staff relocation into its new 23 500m2 head office in Sandton in December 2013, it implemented the largest ‘Workplace of the Future’ deployment in EY globally and unlocked the resources- and cost-saving advantages of advanced green building infrastructure. Yet for those to be fully realised, the new building’s numerous systems would have to be intensively metered and analysed – posing a more data-driven role for its FM service providers than traditionally required. With Eris Facilities Management providing integrated facilities management on-site, Tsebo Solutions Group has the mandate over office space internally.

How should we remember Madiba?
It is hard to believe that South Africa, and the world, have had to go forward without the reassuring presence of Nelson Mandela for a whole year now. In remembering his life, his 27 years of sacrifice, his triumph of a free South Africa, it is also surely important to acknowledge, and live, by perhaps the greatest gift he gave humanity: his example. No one else can ever be Mandela, but we can each try to be like Mandela by simply biting back the next angry word; being patient when someone elderly and slow is in our path; giving up a bus seat; smiling at a passer-by instead of looking away; looking out for stray animals and taking them to the vet; not yelling at the next cold caller, who also needs to feed their family… or even just being a little kinder to the loved ones in our own lives. If we simply try to practice small acts of kindness, every day – maybe that is the best way to remember Madiba.
