The practice of coordinating the physical workplace with the people and work of the organization

• A. Environmental scanning
• B. Facilities register
• C. Delegation
• D. Facility Management

Answer: (D)

Coordinating the physical workplace with the people and work of the organization is facility management. This involves planning, designing, operating, and maintaining the built environment—space layout, furniture, technology, safety, and services—in a way that supports how people work and what they do. When the workspace is aligned with tasks, workflows, and collaboration needs, productivity, efficiency, and well‑being improve while staying within budget and compliance.

Environmental scanning looks outward at external factors to inform strategy, not the physical workspace itself. A facilities register is simply an inventory of physical assets, useful for asset management but not the act of coordinating space with work. Delegation is distributing authority and responsibility, not managing the workspace.
