At Gewardz Assist, we recognize the therapeutic potential of eco-therapy and nature immersion for small to medium-sized businesses. Here’s how you can get involved with this beneficial trend: 1.

Leading in organizational wellbeing starts when you replace the question 'what can we teach our employees to become healthier?' with 'what can we provide our employees to make their work experience healthier?' In other words, it's less preaching and more providing. In better words, it's about establishing a workspace and work environment that don't need to fully rely on employees' willpower and self-drive to be healthy and well. For example: - Install ergonomic furniture like height-adjustable workstations, not just the cheapest ergonomic chairs from a brand you've never heard about that probably contain a ton of restricted materials off-gassing all over the space. - Improve air quality metrics and ventilation. Did you know that many organizations fail to maintain CO2 levels below the maximum threshold? If you constantly feel sleepy and gloomy in the office, there's a chance that you're not getting enough oxygen and air isn't being diluted enough. - Procure office equipment that ensure not having restricted materials. check your plastic water bottles for Phthalates and BPAs if you reached this far. - Encourage healthy lifestyles by installing water dispensers every 300m near common spaces. Better water access makes it easier for people to meet their hydration needs. If you need support with your company's wellness initiatives, feel free to reach out for customized support.

What is design for wellbeing? Designing for wellbeing focuses on creating spaces and environments that promote a sense of wellness and enable individuals to choose wellbeing. It recognises that true wellbeing cannot be given to someone, but rather, it is a personal choice.

"Sensehacking, a term coined by Oxford University's Professor Charles Spence, refers to a technique that uses sensory inputs to influence our emotions and improve social, cognitive and mental health." "Sensehacking involves using different sounds, smells, visuals, tastes, and textures to create an experience that can help us relax or become more alert." "This might mean reducing the noise in an office to reduce sensory overload, or boosting the physical space with plants and pictures." "A 2018 meta-analysis of 40 research papers on the effects of workplace colour on worker mood found colours can have a significant influence on emotions, wellbeing, productivity and creativity." "...bringing natural decor, plants, flowers and greenery into workspaces can help to boost wellbeing." "Plenty of natural light also helps to relieve headaches and stress." "...the smell of nature can bring a feeling of serenity, happiness, and wellness to humans." https://lnkd.in/eVuYaZxT #senses #builtenvironment #psychology #workplacedesign #officedesign #nature #colorpsychology

FREE ONLINE EVENT: Tuesday, January 30, 1:00-2:00pm ET – University of Minnesota Earl E. Bakken Center for Spirituality & Healing presents, “Wellbeing Series | WELL at WORK: Creating Wellbeing in Any Workspace featuring Esther Sternberg M.D.” Staying healthy at work has never been more top-of-mind than it is today but staying healthy isn’t the same thing as staying well. Wellbeing at work isn’t just about good ventilation or removing germs and toxins from the air. It’s also about the many aspects of the environment that impact not only how we feel physically, but also our stress levels, our mood, our focus, and our productivity. Healthy workplaces need not be a luxury. This webinar will describe research findings that inform a “prescription” for a healthy, wellbeing workspace, whether we work in a typical office building, our spare bedroom, or anywhere in between. Building on her two decades of work with the U.S. General Services Administration using wearable health tracking devices to measure the impacts of up to eleven different environmental variables on worker health and wellbeing, this talk will reveal how to design spaces to support wellbeing across the seven domains of integrative health—stress and resilience, movement, sleep, relationships, nutrition, spirituality, natural environments, and the air we breathe. It will touch on ways in which personality traits inform how different spaces impact happiness and focus. The lecture will offer a wealth of simple steps anyone can take to be—and stay—well at work.

Earn the Commute – Improving wellbeing by bringing the outside in 🌷 The key to making your workplace desirable and worth the commute is through thoughtful design that prioritises the wellbeing of those who use the space.

Studies increasingly highlight the benefits of biophilic design to foster wellbeing, increase productivity, and inspire creativity. By enhancing your space with natural light, beautiful views, plants, and good air quality, your workplace becomes a sanctuary that not only reduces stress but boosts productivity as well!

Green Spaces for Mental Health: A Professional Perspective Organizations are increasingly considering the role of green spaces in promoting employee wellness and productivity. Here's what some research tells us: - Cognitive Function: A study found that employees with views of nature reported 15% higher levels of concentration. - Stress Reduction: Research published showed that as little as 10 minutes in a natural setting can significantly reduce the physiological markers of stress. - Creativity and Problem-Solving: A study demonstrated that walking in nature improved performance on creative problem-solving tasks by 50%. - Employee Satisfaction: Access to green spaces has been linked to higher job satisfaction and lower turnover rates - Physical Health: Green spaces encourage physical activity, which is closely tied to mental health improvements. For organizations, the potential ROI of incorporating green elements into workplace design, from simple indoor plants to outdoor break areas or nearby park access. Mental health professionals can also consider "green prescriptions" as part of treatment plans, recommending nature-based activities to complement traditional therapies. #MentalHealth #GreenSpaces #Wellbeing #MentalHealthAwareness #mentalhealthapps #AITherapy #AIcollaborativecare
