How to Build Workplaces That Protect Employee Health

John Macomber, senior lecturer at Harvard Business School and a
veteran of the real estate industry, was studying ways to make
workplaces safer for employees long before the Covid-19 crisis hit.
Now that issues like air and water quality are top of mind, he is
encouraging organizations to think more holistically about the
buildings in which they operate, balancing cost efficiency and even
eco-friendliness with investments in improvements that boost
health. Studies show this will not only stop workers from getting
sick; it will also enhance productivity, which ultimately helps the
bottom line. Macomber is the author of the book “Healthy Buildings:
How Indoor Spaces Drive Performance and Productivity”.
