Design and Emotional Wellness
October is Emotional Wellness Month, and our friends at Resource One Interior Solutions and Design have a secret to share: office design has an impact on the mental health of your team!
In a recent Gallup poll, 50% of respondents said that their job has a negative impact on their mental health and well-being. You can improve the well-being of your employees by creating spaces that support employees' physical and emotional needs. Here are a few things to keep in mind:
Elements of Nature Plants and other natural items reduce feelings of anxiety and depression. They are also knows to boost creativity! Live plants can also improve air quality.
Natural Lighting Light exposure triggers the release of endorphins or "happy hormones". In addition, poor lighting can cause eye-strain, headaches and fatigue.
Diverse Design Giving employees a workplace to be proud of encourages loyalty, retention and boosts engagement.
Quiet Spaces Create a space to calm the brain, reduce anxiety and eliminate co-worker irritation.
