Description
Green space. Blue space. Better business. The research is clear: time in nature drives measurable gains in physical and mental health, from lower blood pressure and cortisol to reduced anxiety and stronger immune function. Pair nature with physical activity, and the benefits multiply — with the potential to cut healthcare costs by more than $1,000 per person annually.
It's no surprise biophilic design is reshaping the modern workplace. Bringing nature into building design boosts creativity, productivity, and well-being, with research showing a strong effect on emotional health. Experts now recommend a minimum "nature dose" of 120 minutes a week, raising a critical question for employers: is nature connection the missing piece in your well-being strategy?
HERO Members are invited to join us for this Think Tank as Senior Research Fellow Dr. Sara Johnson leads us to explore the latest science linking well-being and nature, best practices in biophilic design, and practical, low- and no-cost strategies to help both in-person and remote employees get more time in nature.
