How We Help Organizations

Yang Architects / Architectural Health helps organizations create healthy, high performance workplaces to leverage the potential of their people.

The costs of a healthy building are relatively minor while the benefits are enormous. Designing a building to meet the WELL Building Standard, for instance, adds on average less than 1% to construction cost. Often, an additional small investment in operations can yield substantial financial benefits. For instance, according to a study by the Harvard School of Public Health, improving building air quality increases operating costs by $10 to $40 per person, per year but can improve the yearly productivity of a single employee by $6000 to $7000.

Human Resource Benefits of a Healthy Workplace

A healthy workplace signals that an organization cares about employee well-being. Beyond productivity, a healthy workplace creates other benefits:

Improved recruitment and retention of the best people
Higher employee morale and engagement
Reduced healthcare costs
Reduced absenteeism and presenteeism (working while sick)
Enhanced company public image and brand loyalty
