The relationship between productivity and health at work

Productivity and health are closely linked concepts, and each is unique. A happy employee is not only 12 times more productive, but also 10 times less likely to be ill. This shows that employee well-being is a crucial factor in business performance. The main challenges facing companies include managing employee health and productivity. These elements must be constantly improved to ensure an optimal working environment.

 

Understanding productivity and health at work

To improve performance and Health in the workplace, we need to rethink the way we work. Workspaces and working conditions also need to be reviewed. A quality of working life approach helps solve major problems such as absenteeism and improving employee health. It also helps to meet regulatory obligations. Quality of working life aims to combine corporate performance with employee well-being.

 

The importance of air quality in the workplace

We spend around 80% of our time in enclosed spaces, and the quality of the air in these environments can have a significant impact on our health. Many pollutants present in indoor air constitute a health risk. Air in enclosed rooms can be up to five times more polluted than outside air. Indoor air pollution is therefore a major public health issue. To tackle this problem, it’s essential to adopt simple gestures and install indoor air quality sensors.

 

Air quality sensors: an innovative solution

At Nexelec, we have developed indoor air quality sensors capable of monitoring levels of CO2, volatile organic compounds (VOCs), fine particles and other pollutants in real time. These sensors are essential for identifying and correcting air quality problems before they affect employee health and productivity. By installing our sensors in offices, companies can obtain precise data on air quality and take steps to improve it.

 

Improving productivity and health

By using indoor air quality sensors, companies ensure a healthier working environment. They also improve employee satisfaction and productivity. Better air quality means fewer illnesses and greater concentration. Employees feel more valued when they see that their company is taking concrete action for their well-being, which boosts their commitment and productivity.
