A recent study by Peldon Rose found that for many British workers, winter has a negative effect on their mental wellbeing. Though you can’t fight against winter for your members, there are certainly ways in which you can make your workspace more ‘winter-friendly’.
A Peldon Rose spokesperson told Allwork that even though the findings did point to a tendency of gloominess and Seasonal Affective Disorder (the disease with the most accurate acronym ever: SAD), “the findings were also positive from the point of view of coworking and business centre providers, because of the importance workers have placed in collaborative and social work space in supporting mental health. 75% say that these spaces are key to their mental wellbeing.”
