Workplace well-being: A shared role across the organization

When employees eventually return to the workplace in full force, their expectations will be unlike anything we’ve seen before. The challenge facing wellness experts, HR executives and communicators will be Herculean—but ultimately very rewarding—as the opportunity is profound to reimagine how we work, communicate, and find new ways to support one another.

CBRE, the world’s largest commercial real estate services and investment firm, has already planned for this future. More than 85% of its offices globally are open to employees, though with occupancy limits to allow for social distancing. It has relied on a mountain of research and data to inform everything from new design and architecture to safety protocols and wellness initiatives that cover employees’ and their families’ mental, physical, social and emotional health.
