Spring has officially sprung across the Podium network, and as the first buds of spring appear and the air turns crisp and fresh, the natural urge to step outside becomes harder to ignore. From local parks to courtyard gardens and glorious roof terraces, the nearest outdoor space is only ever a few footsteps away from your Podium desk.
Embracing the great outdoors is no longer just a perk; having easy access to the great outdoors it is a strategic investment in your employee health, creativity, and overall productivity.
The benefits of taking time in nature, or even moving your workspace outdoors, go beyond a simple change of scenery. Research shows that exposure to natural light and fresh air has a profound impact on wellbeing:
🙏 Time spent in nature lowers heart rates and reduces cortisol, the body’s primary stress hormone.
🧠 Natural elements have a “restorative effect” on mental fatigue, helping the brain recuperate after long periods of intense focus.
💪 Sunlight boosts Vitamin D levels and can reduce the incidence of headaches by up to 63% and eyestrain by 51%.
Boosted productivity
🔥 One study found that call centre workers with views of nature and natural light worked up to 12% faster.
Throughout our network we are proud to have access to some fabulous outdoor spaces from our spacious roof terrace in Bath to the wonderful Russell Square gardens and Walpole Park in Ealing to the lakeside picnic area at Monument Park.
