Want to make employers feel better and be more productive? Give them a serious dose of clean, fresh air. An October 2015 Harvard-led study, cited by Crain’s New York Business, found that good indoor air quality can boost performance and cognitive functionality – important since office space is booming in cities like New York.
According to Crain’s, Manhattan is expected to need an additional 92 million square feet of new office space by the year 2040. So building owners and developers there – and by extension employers who may end up with workers in those spaces – may want to consider the implications of such a study.
