Top 3 Signs You Need an Office Refresh:
1. You Dread Going into Work
FACT: Studies show strong links between better views, brighter light and better performance in office environments. Unfortunately, most offices were built to house cubicles, focus on a screen and drive home the point that you are there to "work."
SOLUTION: No one dreads going to a spa, resort or beautiful hotel. Simple integrations that focus on lighting, color palette, sound and scent are quick, easy ways to bring that luxurious experience to your workplace and make the journey worth the destination.
2. You Get Sick . . . A Lot
FACT: Did you know that globally, an estimated 12 billion working days are lost every year to depression and anxiety at a cost of US$ 1 trillion per year in lost productivity?
SOLUTION: Design strategies, such as increasing contact with nature and natural light within built spaces, support numerous health promoting benefits including decreased levels of depression and anxiety, increased attentional capacity, better recovery from job stress and illness, increased pain tolerance and increased psychological well-being.
3. You Aren't as Active as You Want to Be
FACT: Office workers are generally considered less healthy when in the office due to the high levels of sedentary behavior associated with desk jobs, which can increase the risk of chronic health issues like obesity, cardiovascular disease, and musculoskeletal disorders from prolonged sitting, even if they are otherwise healthy individuals.
SOLUTION: Simply including standing desk options, access to fitness equipment and nourishing food options provide the options needed to combat the harmful risks of a sedentary, office lifestyle. The scale doesn't have to be large or costly, but it can be life-saving and business-saving.
