Conversations on Wellbeing at Work: Dr Whitney Austin Gray,  SVP at the International WELL Building Institute (IWBI)

As many employers navigate the complexities of hybrid work so they have become more conscious of the wellbeing impact of the office environment.  And as employees weigh the pros and cons of being in the office so they take into account the built environment and are demanding that employers create spaces that enhance their wellbeing.

Which make this conversation with Dr Gray so timely.   And while we don’t confine the discussion to just the environmental factors you will hear important information on how to:

  • Create spaces that encourage social connection – one of the most important influences on our wellbeing
  • Accounting for neurodiversity to ensure you create spaces for everyone
  • Seize the opportunity of the moment to create awesome spaces and fix what as wrong with work before the pandemic
  • Understand how poor office design impacts performance and productivity
  • Make the healthy choice the easy choice
  • Make your home office a healthier place to be and work


Listening to this conversation you will see why Fast Company highlighted the work of IWBI with an honourable mention in their recent Well Equity Rating.
