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 Victoria Palace was inaugurated on Vítězné náměstí in Prague. It has 92 luxury apartments and commercial spaces in the lower part. It is the first new building on the square in 87 years. The construction of the house with a distinctive facade cost approximately 850 million crowns. The architectural design of the building was developed by Jakub Cigler's studio. It had been planned for more than 15 years to build an opening on the northern corner of the square. The construction project on this land was bought by the Kaprain group in 2016, which in the same year also invited a partner, Pentu Real Estate.
The real estate market expects a strong investment impulse this year. Interest on savings accounts is falling and many Czechs are planning to move their money elsewhere. At the same time, the domestic real estate market is stable and in many ways more efficient than in other countries. The funds will use the newly raised money for acquisitions.
Almost a third of the office market in Prague is twenty or more years old. This presents a problem for many tenants, not least because they cannot emphasize sustainability in these buildings and thus meet their ESG goals. Building owners are offered a solution in the form of complex renovations, but according to experts from Colliers, this is hindered by the low vacancy rate on the Prague office market, which offers few alternative spaces. Nevertheless, it turns out that the reconstruction of old buildings can be less demanding than the construction of new ones. A well-planned and well-executed strategic renovation can bring long-term benefits to landlords, including higher rents.
