Good air quality in the office is essential for the health and productivity of your employees. You as a facility manager or prevention advisor can create a healthier and more energetic work environment by being aware of the causes and consequences of poor air quality and by taking smart measures.
The burden of disease due to poor indoor air quality is estimated at 750,000 million euros per year in Belgium. A lot of research is being done on this, including in offices and schools. Often, the right small efforts are enough to improve air quality considerably. This increases productivity by up to 10% and cognitive skills by up to 50%, and reduces absenteeism by 35%. Impressive figures, aren’t they? That is exactly why an air quality survey at your office is so valuable.
