Well-being: how can the work environment contribute to improved mental health?
For many people, after a long "covid" break, the work environment is where they spend most of their time again. For this reason, it is important that the work environment is pleasant and supportive of their mental health. The trend of recent years is set clearly, give people what they want. Give them a pleasant working environment and they will be more willing to stay longer, finish the job and spend time away from home. And it makes sense. A happy colleague/employee equals better work ethic, results, engagement, willingness to stay longer, but it also translates into mood and relationships within the team.
Almost half of Czechs eat lunch directly in the office, and only a fifth of them go to company canteens, according to a new survey by the IN CATERING company, conducted by the Ipsos agency on a sample of 509 respondents aged 18 to 65. About a tenth of Czechs go to restaurants, and when choosing a place, the most important factors are the quality of the food and the price, while the strongest motivator for changing a favorite restaurant is special prices and discounts.

The office market is slowly recovering from a deep depression. Managers are looking to more modern workplaces not only to meet future sustainability requirements, but also to entice employees from their homes back into the workplace. Škoda Auto recently moved to new offices, large media houses are changing their addresses, and Česká spořitelna, for example, is already looking at a modern building in Smíchov. Some authorities and public institutions are also looking for a new seat. However, many companies prefer the reconstruction of existing buildings.
The rebranding and reconstruction of the building on Karlov náměstí concerns retail and office spaces and architectural modifications with the installation of a new logo and brand identity.
