Survey: What Employees Want Most from Their Workspaces
Air quality, comfortable light, and water quality.
August 26, 2019
Summary.
A recent survey of 1,601 workers across North America reveals that air quality and light are the biggest influencers of employee performance, happiness, and wellbeing, while fitness facilities and technology-based health tools are the most trivial. Organizations need to address this if they want to reduce absenteeism, improve their bottom line, and increase employee productivity and retention. When deciding what changes to make to your organization, remember that workplace wellness is not just about the physical health of your employees. It includes physical wellness, emotional wellness, and environmental wellness. To create a truly healthy work environment, you must take all three of these areas into consideration.
