After all, in a 2023 Deloitte study, 77% of respondents said they had experienced employee burnout at their current job, with more than half citing more than one occurrence. Companies are realising that a healthy and engaged workforce directly impacts productivity, job satisfaction, employee performance and overall success. Here at zynk Design, we understand the crucial role design plays in promoting corporate wellness, having helped countless corporates implement gym, spa and wellbeing spaces.

As humans, we have an innate instinct to connect with nature (known as biophilia), so much so that spending time outdoors has been found to support cognitive function, physical health and psychological wellbeing.

A run before work, a pilates class at lunch, and an hour in the gym once you’d clocked off for the day was seen as something to strive for.
