Meet the WELL AP of the year!

In a world where specialization is key, Ken Fong serves as a reminder that building bridges across different industries can be a competitive advantage. Ken merges his passion for engineering, health and design to elevate his career to new heights.

"When I heard that there was this standard that combined my twin passions of design and wellness, I could barely contain myself. I read everything I could about WELL and the rest is history. I sat for my WELL AP exam in 2016 and haven’t looked back since!”

At the Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art, visitors can marvel at over 42,000 pieces of fine art lining its walls. But the museum's commitment to people goes beyond just the masterpieces on display: It recently achieved WELL Certification at the Silver Level, marking its commitment to the health and well-being of its visitors.

"While building features play a vital role, the Nelson-Atkins museum’s pursuit of WELL Certification placed an equal emphasis on its commitment to employees and the surrounding communities."

Can you guess the commonly overlooked factors that are sapping productivity and costing the global economy billions?

Each year in the U.S., economic losses mount due to:

💤 Poor sleep, costing $411 Billion.
🙋 Presenteeism, costing $150 Billion.
🤧 Common respiratory illnesses, resulting in a loss of 121 Million workdays.

The solution lies in the evidence that we’ve compiled in our special report, Investing in Health Pays Back: Health and well-being strategies can help organizations maintain a healthier, more productive workforce, resulting in better business returns and even more global economic value.

Look for even more evidence in our special report. Download the free resource today: https://www.wellcertified.com/health-pays-back/
