Wellbeing Watcher

Businesses focused on the physical and mental health of their people. They have painstakingly taken note of global surveys of employee engagement, which has dipped as the pandemic has progressed, and they are committed to taking action to improve wellbeing.

A recent project with IFS focused on efficiency, sustainability and ‘green design’ - these themes extend throughout the environment with biophilic experiences and natural timber elements to enhance mood and creativity and increase health, wellbeing and productivity.
