Environmental Sensitivities The Hidden Costs Employee attitude Concentration Health costs Job performance Absenteeism Vision Learning Ability Total cost of production

Generally accepted indoor air quality standards can place employees at risk. Indoor air quality-related illnesses are not readily diagnosed by doctors. If employers and others fail to acknowledge these symptoms, the result will be avoidable sick leave expenses, lost productivity and possible liability for damages and human rights violations suffered by employees. One way or another, poor indoor air quality results in high costs to employers, and to the employees who have sensitivities.

Providing clean, safe office accommodation for employees will improve their attendance, their ability to work productively and will also help them on their journey to wellness. Moreover, changes made to accommodate the needs of employees with environmental sensitivities will benefit all staff by providing improved workplace environments.

By working together, we can create healthier environments for ALL, and accommodate the needs of persons with environmental sensitivities.
