The Solution: Shared values = shared solutions
When it came to select the furnishings for the space it was very important to work with a manufacturer who shares the same values as IWBI. Says Liz Miles, IWBI VP Stakeholder Relations, “Teknion was a wonderful partner not only because of the products they provided us with, but also because they embrace the concept of health and wellness for their own staff, by leading by example and certifying their showrooms to WELL.” Tracy Backus, Director Sustainable Programs at Teknion expands, “This new space is really a living testament to what wellness should look and feel like.” The furniture features natural materials, wood finishes and textiles that are certified Red List Free through Declare for the best air quality and low toxicity. Expansion Cityline height-adjustable desks with felt-wrapped, sliding table screens are used throughout the space, supporting movement and employee satisfaction by ensuring that everyone benefits from the flexibility to work where and how they want.
On the importance of raising the bar for workplace culture and spaces Hodgdon concludes, “We believe we can open more hearts by having a conversation about healthy, high performing people than healthy high performing buildings, because that is the way to live more sustainably in harmony between people and the planet."
