Research has shown that flexibility, security and autonomy in the workplace are strong determinants of health.

And new research shows that employees who don’t have control over their work schedule take a serious #mentalhealth hit.

Did you know that we humans now spend around 93% of our time indoors? NINETY-THREE! That means if you lived to be 100 years old, you would have only spent 7 of those outside. And yet, getting out and about is one of the best things you can do for your physical and mental well-being.
