Indoor Air Quality Affects Us All
At work and at home, indoor air quality influences our mood, health and performance. Employers would like to ensure the work environment they provide to their employees offers conditions that are comfortable and healthy. Additionally, these employers would like to ensure these environments foster workers that are as productive as possible. Some studies have actually quantified that workers that are satisfied with their indoor environment are 4-10% more productive at their jobs than workers who are not satisfied with the environment.
Just think about those numbers and how that relates to your workplace or business. Performing indoor air quality testing can aid employers in ensuring their work place is a healthy environment for their employees.
