How engaging spaces lead to well-being, transforming human capital into a happy, high-performing workforce.

 

The path to wellness, although based on good intentions, has not delivered desired results. Chronic disease continues to escalate and the associated health costs are not only financial. Stress is the number one factor contributing to a work population that is physically and emotionally unhealthy.

The journey of this Haworth sponsored project led by Rex Miller has lasted over two years with research from over 100 corporate leaders and experts. The result of this work is a new book, The Healthy Workplace Nudge, How Healthy People, Culture and Buildings Lead to High Performance, co-authored by Dr. Michael O’Neill and Rex Miller.
