A Healthy Work Environment Shapes Employee Well-being

In modern society, focus on working and living environments is reaching new heights. Factors such as prolonged sedentary work, intense pressure, and unhealthy eating habits can negatively impact both physical and mental health. These are pivotal elements that determine an employee's sense of workplace health and well-being.

A healthy work environment and the adoption of ergonomic furniture offer multiple benefits, such as boosting efficiency and productivity. A healthy workplace should provide excellent indoor air quality, sound nutritional concepts, circadian lighting, and well-planned acoustic design. These elements ensure that physical and mental health remain at optimal levels while reducing absenteeism caused by illness or fatigue.

Why is the "WELL Building Standard" Gaining Importance?

People spend approximately 70-90% of their lives indoors; thus, we must return our focus to the interior of buildings to assess their health impact. The WELL Building Standard provides guidelines for health factors within spaces, leading the way toward human-centric interior planning.
