The growth in the adoption of standards that prioritize health and well-being in corporate buildings is taking center stage in the business world. In this context, the WELL certification stands as a benchmark, evaluated by the International WELL Building Institute (IWBI), which measures how built environments impact the health and comfort of their occupants.
This internationally prestigious standard covers ten fundamental areas, which include air, water, food, light, movement, thermal comfort, sound, materials, mind, and community. Its objective is clear: to promote workspaces that are efficient, sustainable, and beneficial to human well-being.
One of the crucial elements to meet the requirements of this certification is professional cleaning. This is where Tot-Net has established itself as a key player. With more than six decades of experience, the company has developed technical protocols that ensure health and well-being in corporate environments. They tailor their procedures to the specifics of each building, using certified eco-friendly products and carrying out preventive maintenance of air conditioning and ventilation systems, which are essential for air quality.
The Chief Operating Officer of Tot-Net, Silvia Torres, emphasizes the importance of customizing the cleaning protocols. According to Torres, each building has unique needs, and therefore ongoing staff training is essential to ensure that the procedures that guarantee compliance with the WELL standards are properly applied.
The connection between healthy work environments and tangible benefits is supported by studies, such as the one conducted by the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health and the SUNY Upstate Medical University. This study reveals that in buildings considered green, cognitive functions improve by 26%, and the illnesses associated with 'sick-building syndrome' are reduced by 30%. Sleep quality also increases by 6%, highlighting the positive influence of clean and well-ventilated environments.
Tot-Net positions itself as a strategic ally for companies seeking to meet WELL standards. Their commitment goes beyond mere cleaning: they seek to create spaces that foster well-being and sustainability. With operations in Catalonia, Madrid, and Castile and León, they offer their experience and technical approach to companies that prioritize the well-being of their employees.
Through its specialized services, Tot-Net not only helps maintain the WELL certification but also promotes a shift toward greater awareness of the importance of health in the workplace, standing out as a valuable partner in creating optimal work environments.
