Building for the Future: LEED® and WELL™ Certifications in Construction | 01.04.2023 BENEATH THE HARD HAT®
LEED® and WELL™ Certifications + Dairy and Food Processing Construction: In the food processing industry, hygiene and safety are paramount. WELL certification can play a crucial role in ensuring both by promoting handwashing, providing access to healthy food options and encouraging physical activity. Similar to LEED, WELL-certified facilities can also attract and retain top talent in a competitive job market. Employees who value their health and well-being are more likely to choose to work in an environment that supports them. A happy, healthy workforce leads to lower turnover rates, reduced training costs and more successful operations.
