Each year, work-related stress costs companies huge sums in direct and indirect costs;they are largely related to absenteeism, less productivity, increased turnoverand reduced motivation. It’s a huge waste of time, money, health and opportunity,as a stressed employee is less efficient, less committed, and less at work.
It is high time for companies to invest in wellness culture, redesigning workspacesaround individuals to allow them to restablish their physical and psychological wellbeing.A healthy, proactive working environment has positive effects bothon people attitudes and on business results.

MindfulnessFloatation provides a cognitive state where your mind is free. This is the bestcondition to practice Mindfulness, a mental awareness exercise that teachesyou how to live the present and manage your daily routine more effectively.The scientific literature is intensively studying Mindfulness; doctors andpsychotherapists are more and more convinced of its power.
The practice of Mindfulness at work promotes:› emotional intelligence› awareness and focus› introspection skills› creativity and memory› stress and anxiety reduction

During floatation, some specific brain areas are activated, stimulating
a physiological response opposite to stress, with an improvement
in mental performances. Meanwhile, the absence of points of contact has a
beneficial effect on the body.

Floatation
Not everybody knows that stress can be quantified by measuring the Cortisol in the blood. Floatation reduces its levels by half compared to a traditional relax bed.
A 10-30 minutes power nap will help avoid reductions in attention and energy levels, promote staff productivity, motivation and wellbeing, and have a positive impact on overall company results.

C A S E H I S T O R Y “When people are in environments that support positive emotions, they are free to be productive, collaborative and creative”. Beatriz Arantes, Senior Researcher at Workspace Futures.
For more than 105 years, Steelcase Inc. has helped to create great work experiences for the world’s leading organizations, offering a comprehensive portfolio of architecture, furniture, technology products and services, all designed to unlock human promise.
Daniel Brecheis, Human Resources Director, states: “At Steelcase, we want employees to leverage their work environment to think, feel and move better. Our organization strives to think and act faster, to develop more creative approaches. By providing wellbeing solutions that more intentionally link the body and mind of our employees, we are able to support them better in balancing their days at work.When we learned about the scientifically proven regenerating effects on body and mind of ZEROBODY and the easiness of integrating it into the working day, it was the perfect fit for the wellbeing concept of our Learning & Innovation Center.”
Thanks to its constant research into wellbeing, Steelcase learned that an individual`s wellbeing has three dimensions: physical, cognitive and social wellbeing. So far, the western world of work organizations has had a strong focus on physical wellbeing, as the costs associated with body wellbeing issues are often more obvious. Nevertheless, our research confirmed that wellbeing is systemic and needs to be seen holistically. By integrating wellbeing in all its dimensions, we can better address people’s physical, cognitive and psychological needs.

Daniel Brecheis Human Resources Director at SteelcaseWHY IS WELLBEING SUCH A HOT TOPIC FOR MOST ORGANIZATIONS?The increasing number of health issues at work (like back pain, burnout or stomach pains) are costing organizations billions of euros every year owing to employees either not coming to work or being less productive.Preventing health issues and supporting the wellbeing of their staff has become an essential focus for companies in achieving their business goals. Experience has shown that investing in wellbeing is completely in the interests of improved business results thanks to a more creative, engaged and innovative workforce.
Martina Dobler Employee Experience Manager at SteelcaseHOW DOES ZEROBODY FIT INTO YOUR WELLBEING APPROACH?Our employee wellbeing is a critical pathway in achieving the creativity and innovation with our various teams in our Learning & Innovation Center. With ZEROBODY we are harnessing the micro-moments during the day, helping our employees to relax, regenerate and feel better. Small breaks on the ZEROBODY are the perfect support to improve our employees’ wellbeing through the regenerating effects of dry flotation on the body & mind.
WHY IS STEELCASE CONVINCED OF THE BENEFITS OF ZEROBODY?During the last 2 years we have received a lot of positive feedback from our employees who use ZEROBODY on a regular basis. By installing ZEROBODY in our “wellbeing room” we achieved a more complete application for people to be able to truly relax. As our work environment already reflects the link between all dimensions of wellbeing, especially the cognitive and physical aspects of rejuvenation, integrating ZEROBODY felt like a natural extension to our concept.
