Focus FM were commissioned to conduct a Fitwel Benchmarking exercise for a multi-tenant base building, to assess the current state of health and wellbeing initiatives and processes in place at the property. The objective was to establish the baseline, indicate potential certification levels, and recommend improvements based on Fitwel’s criteria.

The Fitwel benchmarking process involved a comprehensive evaluation of the existing office environment, aligning with Fitwel’s evidence-based strategies linked to health impact categories. Each strategy group focuses on measures to reduce the risk of chronic disease and absenteeism, emphasising a holistic approach to wellbeing.

The benchmarking exercise provided valuable insights into the current state of the property and its alignment with Fitwel criteria. This foundational work, along with the proactive measures recommended, serves as a roadmap to creating spaces that prioritise the health and wellbeing of the building’s diverse tenant base. The exercise not only established a baseline but also positioned the property for future enhancements in line with Fitwel’s principles.
