Executive Summary

In recent years, the importance of wellbeing in the workplace has received growing recognition among employers and building solution providers, as a growing number of studies suggest improved wellbeing in the workplace can result in greater productivity.

This report will inform the decisions of C-level executives at software management, facilities management and real estate services on market opportunities and challenges in providing wellbeing as a solution. Whilst offering services to improve the workplace for occupant wellbeing is an important value-add for building solution providers, lack of evidence linking wellbeing with financial metrics is going to be the biggest challenge to providers selling wellbeing as a standalone solution.
