FirstService Residential New York Achieves WELL Certified™ Gold for Workplace Wellness
New York, NY (November 25, 2024) – FirstService Residential New York proudly announces that its Manhattan office is WELL Certified™ Gold. This prestigious recognition, awarded by the International WELL Building Institute (IWBI), underscores FirstService Residential's commitment to fostering health, wellness, and productivity in the workplace.
The WELL Certification is the leading global rating system focused on advancing health and well-being in buildings. FirstService Residential earned this certification by prioritizing its associates' wellness and aligning the workspace with evidence-based standards that enhance physical and mental health.
These efforts include installing advanced air sensors that continuously monitor air quality throughout the office and notify staff when action must be taken, filtered drinking water that exceeds typical benchmarks, and partnering with a local florist, QG Floral + Landscape, to incorporate lush plants and greenery throughout the office. Additionally, FirstService Residential has implemented measures to mitigate noise pollution, and the office layout was designed to maximize the flow of natural light, fostering a bright, peaceful, and inviting atmosphere for all associates and visitors to the office.
This accomplishment builds on FirstService Residential's reputation as a people-first organization. Recently, Indeed named the company a Work Wellbeing 100 Company, further emphasizing its leadership in cultivating workplaces where employees feel valued and supported.
