The average Singaporean spending 8 hours a day at work. While we wouldn’t like to call it second-home, spending 1/3 of your day in office can impact one’s health, creativity, productivity and happiness.
While companies are starting recognising the increasing importance of creating a conducive office for work. There is still no one size fit all solution to keep employees satisfied.

Physical activity contributes to greater creativity and overall productivity in workers. You can consider designing workplaces such that movement is required and installing facilities that encourages that.
