You don't have to invest a lot of money into physically changing the building. You can manage your space better, say panelists in a Well Building panel at the CREW Network Convention.

ORLANDO, FL—The way a building is designed and the way people operate within the building has an impact on the people inside. That is according to panelists during a breakout session at the CREW Network Convention. Whether they live, work or play in the building, the amenities you offer can impact satisfaction and retention for employees and tenants.

First up was speaker Jessica Cooper, International WELL Building Institute, who talked a bit about elevated stress levels, health, physical and mental well-being and more. "Whether it is meditation or some other form of being healthy, you have to do whatever enables you to do your best work," she said. While she explained that medical care and genetics are important to wellness, the majority of your well-being is impacted by the environment you spend your time in.
