Your Workplace Should Make You Healthier

A healthy building holistically addresses aspects of building design and organizational policy and culture to improve occupant well-being, for example:

• Designs to incorporate movement and exercise into the workday
• Noise management and spaces for mental focus
• Spaces to support collaboration and social connection
• Ergonomic furniture to prevent repetitive strain injuries
• Thermal design to address individual differences in comfort
• Lighting and travel policies that promote healthy sleep
• Connections to nature to reduce stress
• Healthy food options to prevent chronic disease
• Building materials that don’t emit harmful chemicals

Our case study of a WELL platinum certified space illustrates some of these concrete benefits of a healthy building.
