We spend 90% of our time inside.
So it’s little surprise that our health and wellbeing is impacted by the environments in which we live and work. The idea that how a building is designed, constructed and managed impacts on its occupants’ health is not new. What is less appreciated is that a healthy building – one where health, wellness and human experience is integrated into its design and management – can actually improve people’s sense of wellbeing, productivity, engagement and reduce absenteeism. It can also promote confidence in people returning to the office after a long period working at home.
As we spend more than a third of our waking hours at work, office buildings can make people – and therefore the wider organisation itself – healthier. But organisations need to take an holistic approach, integrating people’s physical and mental health requirements through looking at everything from natural light, air quality and noise and temperature levels to encouraging movement and providing the right ergonomic furniture. Explore how you can create a healthier working environment for your employees with our top tips.
While caring for employee wellbeing is the right thing to do, there are also clear business benefits. What’s good for your people is also good for your bottom line.
