This often involves streamlining the business, reducing staff numbers and cutting costs. So what if there was a low cost way of increasing employees productivity, health and motivation?
Sick buildings produce sick employees
Human beings have only very recently evolved into beings which spend 90% of their time indoors. We have also managed to make our ‘dwellings’ several floors high, with sealed windows and recycled air, as well as using smaller windows with not much natural light. So it’s hardly surprising employees get tired, ill and often have low performance levels.
Green Revolution
The green revolution is in full swing. Employers are now realising that people perform, heal and learn much better when there is sufficient daylight, fresh air and people-friendly spaces. But certainly not all companies, have the budgets available to them to build fantastic new green buildings.
Extensive Research
