At WorkLife by OpenMoney, we believe that Environmental Wellbeing is an important facet of our overall wellness. But Environmental Wellbeing is a fairly new concept, so you could be wondering what on Earth it could be! What do we mean when we refer to our "environments", and how can they affect our wellbeing?
To answer these questions (and many more!), we are joined by Clair Staines Assoc CIPD to discuss how a positive environment can help nurture our wellbeing, and what we can do to make sure our working environment is allowing us to produce our best work.
