Americans, on average, spend 90% of their time in the built environment, and these environments are always conducive to wellness. The GWA’s first webinar of 2022 explored ‘Wellness Design In The Flex Office Space’.

Three experts – Amy King, Simee Adhikari and Sarah Travers – unpicked why it’s so important to let member wellness drive office design.
