The international standards and certifications were manly building focused, so a LEED or Bream degree did not mean too much to the workforce directly.

The next challenge of the market was to attract and retain highly skilled employees and it was clearly visible that it is not an HR issue any more.

2. The International Well Beeing Institute – IWBI - established in 2014 a new standard and introduced to the market in 2016. The well certification is a data driven and human focused standard to support physical and mental health and productivity in the workplace. 

This holistic approach gives a perfect answer what can employer do for their employee well-being with his HR team and real estate advisor for, in close collaboration with design, facility and change management professionals. Details here.

It is clear that it is mainly a communication and knowledge transfer question to reach the right decision makers or influencers.

3. This situation gave the idea to award the best well certified or registered project to set as a best practice.

So the award’s main focus is to support and provide communication and not a detailed technical research and evaluation.

This is the reason why we invite jury members from a wider group of professionals.

Each year a jury of 4 selected professionals -real estate or well AP, architecture and design, Human resource and a change management, communication professional will evaluate the projects.  The representative of the founder will vote only if jury cannot make decision in the normal process.

4. The jury will award the projects with the best performance in the following fields:
- architectural and design thinking
- quality of communication to the society
- change management process within the users and service providers
- complexity of services to the well community
