What’s Driving the Change?

• How can office layouts reduce stress and burnout?

• Can floor plans support different energy levels throughout the day?

• How can workplace design shift wellness from individual behavior to collective norms?

5 Ways to Measure Wellness

Measuring wellness is key in determining the impact and success. Companies are utilizing multiple different formats to accomplish this:

1. Exploring new metrics like Wellness Density which measures wellness supportive features per sf

2. Assessing % of workstations with access to daylight

3. Utilization rates of quiet areas

4. Employee pulse surveys to measure burnout or wellness indicators

5. Digital health platforms that can provide real-time data on physical health trends. This can even include reporting on energy levels by zone or time of day.

WELLNESS STATS

70% of employees believe that having access to a variety of work settings to cater to preferences and tasks increases their productivity.

84% of employees prioritize working in inspiring environments. Features such as natural light, quiet zones, and greenery are increasingly sought after, contributing to mental health and overall well-being.

What Can We Do?

Here are three questions to kick-start the conversations with our clients

As we approach new projects, we need to think beyond simple amenities and start asking

• Does this layout reduce cognitive fatigue? Think about recovery, not just productivity

• Are we building in micro-choices throughout the day. Think quiet vs. active neighborhoods / zones

• How are wellness touchpoints spread across the entire experience from stepping in the door to decompressing at the end of the day
