HOW WORKPLACE DESIGN IMPACTS MENTAL HEALTH

摘要

Two things have prompted me to think more about mental health recently. One is the global coronavirus pandemic and the other is that May was Mental Health Awareness Month in the United States.It's interesting to note that in New Zealand we devote a week in September/ October to raise awareness of mental health, whereas in the US the issue is of such concern that the campaign stretches over an entire month.The pandemic, and the effects of lockdowns and other restrictions, have also put mental well-being top of mind, in particular around how our staff have fared.This has not just been a focus at my business Spaceworks. Many business owners have been concerned for their people too.
