In the wake of the global pandemic, organisations worldwide have been grappling with challenges related to employee retention and engagement. The landscape of work has changed, and so have employee expectations. Today, more than ever, professionals want their wellbeing to be a top priority in their workplace, and there are compelling reasons for this shift in attitude such as physical and mental health concerns and impact on work-life balance.
Organisations that invest in employee wellbeing not only create a more attractive work environment but also reap the benefits of higher retention rates, increased productivity, and a positive workplace culture. At Hub, we understand that nurturing employee wellbeing is not just a trend, but a key driver of success in the modern workplace.
Redesigning Workspaces with Your Wellbeing in Mind
Your workspace should be a place where you can truly flourish. That’s why we’ve incorporated a range of features across our Hub locations to promote all aspects of wellbeing:
Natural light
Linked to increased alertness and improved cognitive function, natural light can also boost mood and reduce feelings of stress and anxiety. By carefully selecting buildings flooded with natural light, we’re able to create workspace experiences that are not only productive but also uplifting and energising.
Ergonomic Design and Furniture
We prioritise physical health and comfort by providing ergonomic chairs and adjustable desks in all our workspaces. These elements are designed to support proper posture, reduce the risk of musculoskeletal issues, and enhance overall comfort during long hours of work.
Outdoor Spaces
Many Hub workspaces offer balcony, terrace, or rooftop access, providing you with the opportunity to enjoy fresh air and stunning views, promoting relaxation and rejuvenation.
Biophilic Design
You can’t miss the abundance of lush green plants in all our spaces. This biophilic design element not only enhances aesthetics but also reduces stress and improves overall wellbeing.
Bike Facilities
We recognise the importance of physical health, which is why we provide secure bike facilities for those who prefer eco-friendly commuting options, promoting an active lifestyle.
Move Rooms
To encourage physical activity, we’ve set up Move Rooms equipped with TechnoGym equipment. These spaces allow you to engage in quick workouts to refresh your body and mind.
Relax Rooms
Each Hub location features Relax Rooms with comfortable furniture, calming art, dimmed lighting and wellbeing books. These spaces offer you a peaceful retreat for meditation and relaxation.
Reading Spaces and Libraries
Our workspace designs include reading spaces and libraries to encourage intellectual stimulation, relaxation, and personal growth.
Wellbeing Events and Experiences
We go the extra mile to prioritise member wellbeing. Our annual wellness series of events places holistic wellbeing at the forefront of our community. Throughout the year, members can also enjoy a diverse range of experiences, including interactive talks, member massage days, and access to health-conscious food options at all our Hub cafes.
Hub Martin Place: Elevating the Wellbeing Experience
Our commitment to wellbeing is exemplified at our flagship location, Hub Martin Place. This recently opened workspace takes the concept of employee wellbeing to new heights. In collaboration with our wellness partner, endota, renowned for their expertise in relaxation and rejuvenation, we’ve co-designed the Hub Martin Place Relax Room. This tranquil oasis provides members with a serene space to escape from the hustle and bustle of the workday.
Furthermore, Hub Martin Place offers an executive wellness program that includes life coaching, emphasising the importance of holistic personal development. We’ve also established local partnerships with fitness and lifestyle brands, giving all members exclusive access to wellness services that further enhance wellbeing.
Bottom Line Benefits of Prioritising Employee Wellbeing
In today’s fiercely competitive business landscape, organisations that prioritise employee wellbeing gain a distinct advantage. Happy, healthy, and engaged employees are not only more likely to remain loyal to their company but also to contribute their best work, which in turn drives business success. By nurturing the wellbeing of our members, we aim to empower them to excel in their careers, ultimately benefiting both individuals and the organisations they are a part of.
Our commitment to wellbeing is not just a trend; it’s a fundamental principle that guides everything we do. In an era where employees want more than just a desk and chair, we’re creating spaces where everyone can truly thrive. Loving where you work is about more than modern amenities; it’s about flourishing in an environment that values your wellbeing, and that’s precisely what we aim to achieve at Hub Australia. Join us in prioritising your wellbeing and experience a workspace that puts you first.
