John Hanlon Interview at EFMC 2013

</p> <p><br><br>Paige Hodsman, Concept Developer Office UK, discusses with John Hanlon about the importance of productivity, how acoustic is linked to it, and where the responsibilities should be. John was a speaker at the conference and held a session on May 23rd called “How the Facility Manager can influence Workplace Productivity”</p> <p>“Facilities managers understand that their job has a big impact on productivity but they don’t really have the tools to implement the necessary changes. Research has given us lots of ideas about creating better working environments, where air conditioning, better lighting or acoustics can help promote productivity, but the actual detail of how isn’t easily accessible”, says John Hanlon.<br>John Hanlon is a Chartered Mechanical Engineer and a Fellow of the Association of Project Manager. He has worked within the UK Government sector for over 20 years for both Client and Service Provider organisations and has been responsible for the development, delivery and management of some of the UK’s most complex Facility Management contracts.<br>for more info see: <a href="http://www.efmc-conference.com/speakers/john-hanlon/">http://www.efmc-conference.com/speakers/john-hanlon/</a></p> </div><footer class="entry-footer"><p class="entry-meta"><span class="entry-categories">Filed Under: <a href="https://www.acousticbulletin.com/category/offices/" rel="category tag">Offices</a></span> <span class="entry-tags">Tagged With: <a href="https://www.acousticbulletin.com/tag/movies/" rel="tag">Movies</a>, <a href="https://www.acousticbulletin.com/tag/video/" rel="tag">Video</a></span></p></footer></article></main><aside class="sidebar sidebar-primary widget-area" role="complementary" aria-label="Primary Sidebar" id="genesis-sidebar-primary"><h2 class="genesis-sidebar-title screen-reader-text">Primary Sidebar</h2><section id="categories-7" class="widget widget_categories"><div class="widget-wrap"><h3 class="widgettitle widget-title">Categories</h3> <ul> <li class="cat-item cat-item-7"><a href="https://www.acousticbulletin.com/category/education/">Education</a> </li> <li class="cat-item cat-item-13"><a href="https://www.acousticbulletin.com/category/healthcare/">Healthcare</a> </li> <li class="cat-item cat-item-16"><a href="https://www.acousticbulletin.com/category/offices/">Offices</a> </li> <li class="cat-item cat-item-24"><a href="https://www.acousticbulletin.com/category/sustainability/">Sustainability</a> </li> <li class="cat-item cat-item-1"><a href="https://www.acousticbulletin.com/category/uncategorized/">Uncategorized</a> </li> <li class="cat-item cat-item-4"><a href="https://www.acousticbulletin.com/category/various/">Various</a> </li> </ul> </div></section> <section id="simple-social-icons-1" class="widget simple-social-icons"><div class="widget-wrap"><ul class="aligncenter"><li class="ssi-linkedin"><a href="http://www.linkedin.com/groups?gid=2594829" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><svg role="img" class="social-linkedin" aria-labelledby="social-linkedin-1"><title id="social-linkedin-1">LinkedIn</title><use xlink:href="https://www.acousticbulletin.com/wp-content/plugins/simple-social-icons/symbol-defs.svg#social-linkedin"></use></svg></a></li><li class="ssi-twitter"><a href="https://twitter.com/acousticbltn" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><svg role="img" class="social-twitter" aria-labelledby="social-twitter-1"><title id="social-twitter-1">Twitter</title><use xlink:href="https://www.acousticbulletin.com/wp-content/plugins/simple-social-icons/symbol-defs.svg#social-twitter"></use></svg></a></li></ul></div></section> </aside></div></div><div class="footer-widgets" id="genesis-footer-widgets"><h2 class="genesis-sidebar-title screen-reader-text">Footer</h2><div class="wrap"><div class="widget-area footer-widgets-1 footer-widget-area"><section id="text-5" class="widget widget_text"><div class="widget-wrap"> <div class="textwidget"><p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone wp-image-6068 size-medium" src="https://www.acousticbulletin.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/Ecophon_Logo_Yellow_RGB-300x86.png" alt="" width="300" height="86" srcset="https://www.acousticbulletin.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/Ecophon_Logo_Yellow_RGB-300x86.png 300w, https://www.acousticbulletin.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/Ecophon_Logo_Yellow_RGB-1024x295.png 1024w, https://www.acousticbulletin.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/Ecophon_Logo_Yellow_RGB-768x221.png 768w, https://www.acousticbulletin.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/Ecophon_Logo_Yellow_RGB-1536x442.png 1536w, https://www.acousticbulletin.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/Ecophon_Logo_Yellow_RGB-2048x589.png 2048w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px" /></p> <p>Ecophon develops, manufactures and markets acoustic panels, baffles and ceiling systems that contribute to a good working environment by enhancing peoples’ wellbeing and performance.
