Provide individual reflection space

Section Directive

Amenities

• Space to be available for all employees.

• Space to be located away from loud or high activity zones.

• Space to include acoustical solutions to mitigate noise.

• Space to include amenities such as individual gaming set ups and connection to nature.

• Space to include alternative seating such as lounge chairs with high backs and sides, hanging chairs, and small booths.

• Space gives employees an area to unwind and reflect in an informal matter.

Reasoning

Social Support: Providing bonus space with varying levels of social interaction, allows uses to choose how they relax. Space to sit alone, away from social interactions and sensory distractions, supports stress relief and enables users to recharge.
