4 Workspaces promoting well-being New salutogenic approach for workplace design: one that promotes users health and well-being. The term salutogenesis focus on factors that support human health and well-being, rather than factors that causes diseases. The build environment affects human well-being and this in turn influences their effectiveness in the workplace. According to the recent research, good quality of iwork environment is able to support health, well-being and productivity of employees. High-quality environmental design is an investment, as occupants are healthier, productivity is higher and sustainability ideals are more likely to be met.

5 Salutogenic approach Theoretical, conceptual and value-based core of modern health promotion (Antonovsky 1987, 1996) Process of enabling people to increase control over, and to improve their health Conditions that facilitate healthy behaviour Sense of coherence, seeing the world as making sense Perceiving the environment as comprehensive, manageable and meaningful

6 Health and healthy workplace Health is a state of optimal physical, mental and social well-being, and not merely the absence of disease and infirmity. A healthy workplace is one in which workers and managers collaborate to use a continual improvement process to protect and promote the health, safety and well-being of all workers and the sustainability of the workplace. Definitions by the World Health Organisation (WHO) 2010

7 Well-being at work Well-being at work means safe, healthy and productive work in a well-led organisation, by competent workers and work communities who see their jobs as meaningful and rewarding, and see work as a factor that supports their life management. Definition by the Finnish Institute of Occupational Health (FIOH) 2008

8 Salutogenic and user-centred approach Extensive attention to users of spaces Focus on user s activities, needs and experiences Focus on human health and well-being Interactive role of users in their indoor environment More attention to positive impacts of indoor environment Ruohomäki, Lahtinen & Reijula 2015

9 Dimensions of workspaces that promote well-being Ruohomäki, Lahtinen & Reijula 2015

10 Physical, virtual and social spaces Virpi Ruohomäki

11 Healthiness and safety Good indoor environment Fresh thermal comfort Clean indoor air Good natural lighting Acoustic quality and low noise level

12 Functional dimension of workspace Facilitates orientation Is ergonomic and accessible to all users Supports work tasks and work processes

13 Social dimension of workspace Sense of belonging Flow of information Promotes communication and collaboration Supports mutual learning Supports group tasks, teamwork and innovations

14 Psychological dimension of workspace Respects privacy; reflects the regulation of interaction with other people, mental concentration and avoidance of distractions and interruptions Respects personal need of space; sense of individual and group territory Strengthens sense of control; over workspace, tasks, methods, schedules, choice Work engagement and flow Restorative environments

15 User-centred and participatory workplace design User-centred or human-centred design means attention to needs of the users at each stage of the design process Participatory design means active participation of users of in the design process Key when aiming at work environments that support well-being of users and organisational productivity Virpi Ruohomäki
