The business case has never been stronger or more persuasive: a strategic investment in health and well-being is an imperative for organizations around the world. While the benefits of people-first practices have long been established in public health and building science research, recent studies outline a clear connection between these investments and enhanced business performance, increased asset value and higher financial returns.

Join the International WELL Building Institute (IWBI) and our panel of experts on March 2 at 12 p.m. ET as they discuss how research can be used to inform and strengthen the business case for investing in health:

• Hear details about a groundbreaking study in Building and Environment, which found that WELL Certification can drive significant benefits across occupant satisfaction and perceived health, well-being and productivity.
• Gain high level insights from IWBI’s research review, which features major findings from nearly 60 independent studies, including research from Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), Harvard’s T.H. Chan School of Public Health, Pacific Northwest National Laboratory, University of Colorado-Boulder and many more.
