The demand for labeling buildings and workplaces as healthy and safe has skyrocketed to billions of square feet of office space–and it happens for a good reason.

As people spend 90% of their lives in a built environment, it is just right to consider how these environments could either benefit or harm their health. This week’s guest is here to shed light on this topic.

Joining me in our latest episode is none other than Dr. Esther Sternberg, a pioneer in the field of integrative medicine and author of Well at Work.

With her extensive background in mind-body science and environmental impacts on health, Dr. Sternberg shares her insights on the critical role of workplace design in enhancing employee well-being and productivity.

She discusses the rising demand for healthy buildings and workplaces post-COVID, highlighting the importance of personalized workspaces that meet individual needs.

We also talk about some strategies for creating healthier work environments, the financial benefits of this initiative, and more.
