A How To: Integrating Wellbeing Through Your Building Operation

Episode 15 - with Jade Leighton from Ekkist.

This is Part 3 of the 3 Part Mini-series in partnership with Ekkist called "BUILDING IN HEALTH & WELLBEING: A How To".

Jade is a qualified Nutritional Therapist, a Lifestyle Medicine Practitioner and the Health and Wellbeing Consultant at Ekkist advising on the operational elements and ongoing management of buildings to ensure property developers can implement policies and initiatives to support the ongoing wellbeing of building occupants and staff.

Today we dive deep into the operational considerations you need to enhance health and wellbeing in property, from ensuring access to high quality wholesome food sources to the maternity policies of staff right through to eradicating loneliness through community groups, events and support.  

For anyone currently at RIBA Stage 2 - 7, Part 3 of the Mini-series is for you as understanding operational objectives at an early stage is key to a successful design, planning submission and long term asset performance.
