How Your Environment Shapes Your Thinking In 2023, over 23,000 companies disclosed their environmental data through CDP (formerly the Carbon Disclosure Project). These companies realized something critical: 𝗬𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗲𝗻𝘃𝗶𝗿𝗼𝗻𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗶𝘀𝗻’𝘁 𝗷𝘂𝘀𝘁 𝘄𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸—𝗶𝘁’𝘀 𝗵𝗼𝘄 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗸. Here’s what companies that optimized their indoor environments saw: ☑ 61% increase in cognitive performance with better Indoor Environmental Quality (IEQ). ☑ Improved focus and stress levels by adjusting lighting, air quality, and temperature. ☑ Poor IEQ = higher stress and lower productivity. Small changes led to big gains. These businesses enhanced their workspaces and saw: → Better decision-making and problem-solving. → Reduced cognitive load for their teams. → Higher employee engagement and retention. Here’s how they did it: 1. Optimize workspace IEQ—improve air quality, lighting, and temperature. 2. Track environmental impacts alongside employee well-being. 3. Take small, consistent steps toward enhancing the workplace. The result? Improved cognitive function, better team collaboration, and overall workplace wellness. Now, it’s your turn. Or you may still think that we aren't related or living within an environment, so no changes are required 👀 . How is your environment impacting your team’s thinking and productivity? #CognitiveEcology #WorkplaceWellness #IEQ #Behavior #Leadership
