We spend 90% of our time indoors, as such, the built environment has a profound impact on our well-being. This session focuses how Human Resources professionals can team up with their Real Estate counterparts to deliver well-being in the workplace. It is time for Facilities,  Operations, Design, IT and Human Resources to join forces to engage, empower and retain your workforce. The pandemic has accelerated and disrupted methods of work and employee experience in numerous ways. Additionally deep social currents affect the way we are expected to address Diversity, Equity and Inclusion in the workplace. We will explore the intersection of various standards, certifications and expectations that focus on employee well-being beyond the traditional benefit programs. There isn't a better time to consider how your version of the Hybrid  workplace can facilitate a psychological and physical safe environment while creating a sense of belonging and high performance.

This session will look at how HR professionals can expand their knowledge of well-being by understanding the health and safety aspects of the built environment beyond OHS requirements. The session will cover the latest standards and ratings that address well-being in workplace, such as the WELL building standard and WELL health and safety rating. Additionally the Canadian Standard for Psychological healthy and safety in
the workplace will also be addressed.

Learning Objectives

  • Awareness of how the build environment impacts well-being
  • Knowledge of various standard aiming to bolster well-being in the workplace
  • Ways that HR can work with a broader team to deliver workplace well-being beyond benefits programs.
