Healthy Workplace
I’ve talked before about how HOK is committed to continuing education, and also about the company’s commitment to health (on thegreenworkplace.com). Yesterday, the DC office tied the two together with a fabulous presentation by Steelcase: the movement toward wellness in the workplace.
This presentation was not your typical lecture on traditional ergonomics (monitor height, seat position, etc)….it went quite a bit further and discussed how wellness in the office relies on a combination of human resources policies and facility management solutions (good furniture!).
The presenters discussed how movement is a critical element for the body and mind, and also for collaboration. Movement keeps us refreshed, focused, and energized…and we need our workspaces …
