Is your portfolio green and productive? You can measure it – really

In a recent productivity study of 32,000 employees, almost half of them admitted to performing “below par” and not being as fully engaged as they could be. The study found that employee engagement is affected by 1) corporate culture, leadership and the relationship between employees and managers; and 2) the physical work environment. Other field studies show that a workplace environment that features natural light, thermal comfort and good indoor air quality can dramatically improve employee productivity. Some studies claim productivity gains of 20% and more from greening the workplace.
