In Wake of COVID-19, Should Employers Make Offices Healing Spaces?

UArizona researchers Altaf Engineer, PhD, and Esther Sternberg, MD, a professor of medicine at the College of Medicine – Tucson and director of research at the Andrew Weil Center for Integrative Medicine, say the pandemic has forced employers to think about how office spaces can reduce employees' stress and enhance their well-being. The researchers are the lead authors of a new paper that aims to be the go-to guide for architects, planners and others in the building industry for designing spaces that help improve people's emotional well-being and physical health.
