Wellbeing in the workplace
The importance of wellbeing in the workplace
At Tarkett, we understand the importance of creating healthy and comfortable workplaces. Our flooring solutions are designed with acoustics and indoor air quality in mind, helping to minimize noise pollution and improve the air quality in the workplace.
Improve indoor air quality with Tarkett
The need for better indoor air quality has never been more urgent. While indoor green spaces contribute to better air quality, helping employees refresh and refocus, well-considered flooring also play a key role in ensuring purer, healthier indoor air.
At Tarkett, we know that the floor covering you choose is linked to the quality of indoor air you breathe. Our DESSO AirMaster carpet captures and retains fine dust better than any other flooring solution, while our phthalate-free Luxury Vinyl Tiles emit very low levels of VOCs, supporting better indoor air quality.
The importance of clean air can hardly be overstated. Our presence of mind, our sense of well-being and our health in general all benefit greatly from air free of pollutants.
Improve acoustics with Tarkett
Acoustics top the list of priorities for employees. Quieter environments improve concentration and productivity and promote better wellbeing in the workplace. That’s why good sound absorption and noise reduction are so important.
Carpet tiles are a popular solution for the workplace when it comes to acoustics, they soften harsh sounds and create a quieter, more peaceful indoor environment. And by adding one of our expertly designed SoundMaster backings, you optimize the sound absorption and sound insulation even more. It also offers more comfortable underfoot feel than standard carpet.
Neurodiversity in the workplace
Research suggests that a more neurodiverse workplace can help unlock innovation, creativity, and big picture thinking in organizations. Many neurodiverse individuals experience sensory challenges; being either under and over stimulated, making it difficult for them to concentrate - or collaborate.
At Tarkett, we’re committed to understanding the unique needs of everyone in a space, so we can design better products and better experiences for all. Along with acoustics, a floor’s colour, pattern and texture plays a key role in supporting neurodivergent groups to improve their overall experience of the interior environment.
With guidance from HOK, Tarkett has developed a set of tools to enhance the design and material selection process for flooring solutions, helping you create more varied spaces, fostering an inclusive workplace where neurodivergent employees can thrive.
