Here we look at the role of biophilic design in improving wellbeing in the workplace.<\/h2>\n<p>It is estimated that we spend about 90% of our time indoors, however, an alarming number of employees report that their workplaces do not provide natural light, fresh air or any natural elements in their premises.\u00a0 The workplace environment has a profound effect on employee mental and physical health, and this is affecting performance. Understanding this connection between wellbeing and productivity, and how the workplace can have a negative effect on employees\u2019 health, businesses are looking to create healthier interiors by bringing nature and diversity inside, through what is called biophilic design.<\/p>\n<h2>Applying the principles of biophilic design<\/h2>\n<p>In 2015\/16, 11.7 million working days were lost due to stress, yet it`s been proven that we recover significantly faster from stress when exposed to a natural environment.\u00a0 Biophilic design seeks to connect our inherent need to affiliate with nature into the modern built environment.\u00a0 Studies related to biophilic design show that the inclusion of living elements or views on to nature in an office environment can increase wellbeing by 13%, productivity by 8%, reduce absenteeism and improve our ability to recover significantly faster from stress.<\/p>\n<p>Biophilic design can affect every aspect of interior refurbishment from <a href=\"https:\/\/crownworkspace.com\/uae\/knowledge-base\/modern-office-spaces-everything-you-need-to-know\/\">modern office space planning<\/a> to interior design to fit out.\u00a0 When designing with biophilia in mind, we seek to add nature to workspaces, incorporating plants, natural light and fresh air.\u00a0 We develop design strategies that use nature as a reference, for example in art and finishes.\u00a0 To enhance human responses to an environment, we also look to mimic spatial qualities of natural environments such as evoking the passage of day and creating spaces that provide refuge.<\/p>\n<h2>Accelerating the move towards healthier interiors<\/h2>\n<p>The coronavirus outbreak has shone a spotlight on the issue of health and wellbeing in the workplace and accelerated the move towards healthier interiors.\u00a0 Indoor air quality and hygiene have become even more critical due to the pandemic, but it is also important to encourage those working from home back to the office.\u00a0 The workplace must be attractive and offer some of the great benefits home working has provided.\u00a0 Working from home during the lockdown in the summer months has shown employees the importance of nature, making biophilic design even more important to the workspace.<\/p>\n<p>Good workplace design should aim to boost mental and physical health, and prevent illness whenever possible.\u00a0 Businesses have a great opportunity when reviewing their office requirements post-Covid, to demonstrate their commitment to employee wellbeing and create healthier workplace interiors that employees feel comfortable and thrive in.\u00a0 It\u2019s no wonder that businesses are taking notice and at Crown Workspace we are being asked to deliver sustainable refurbishments that maximise wellbeing.<\/p>\n<h2>How Crown Workspace can help<\/h2>\n<p>Our clients want to create productive workspaces that maximise employee wellbeing, reflect their corporate values and achieve their sustainability goals.\u00a0 They also want to have confidence that their interiors projects are being delivered in a safe and compliant manner, and meet both operational and financial constraints, as well as sustainability objectives.<\/p>\n<p>Designed to meet all these requirements, our <a href=\"https:\/\/crownworkspace.com\/uae\/services\/interiors-refurbishment\/\">interior refurbishment services<\/a> or <a href=\"https:\/\/crownworkspace.com\/uae\/services\/office-fit-out\/\">office fit out projects<\/a> bring together our extensive expertise in sustainability, workplace change and quality workmanship.\u00a0 Combining professionalism and responsiveness, we design and deliver truly sustainable and inspiring workplaces to the highest standards, on time and on budget.<\/p>\n<p>To find out more about how we can help you create a healthier working environment to ensure the well being of your employees, <a href=\"https:\/\/crownworkspace.com\/uk\/services\/return-to-work-services\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">click here!<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Even before Covid-19, our clients were already making the move towards creating healthier interiors.
