As you reopen your business office fully this summer, we have all been exposed to many guidelines and rules about improving the physical space.  Though these are useful, they can be overwhelming and may not seem like progress but more conformity. 

The good news is that by improving certain aspects of the building to make it healthier, you also get a boost to your top and bottom lines.  Learn the scientific proof that improving ventilation rates, privacy and occupant choice of temperature can translate into positive financial returns.  The presenters will also discuss the impact on employee loyalty, cognition and health.
