As a founding participant in IWBI’s WELL Enterprise Provider (WELL EP) designation, the global consulting and tax service company is committed to integrating wellbeing strategies consistent with the WELL Building Standard into their own workplaces as well as their clients.

Ernst & Young brings this to life through inspiring and intentional designs in the workplace, along with supportive policies, that put people at the center. The company recently achieved WELL Certification Gold for three U.S. offices in Los Angeles; Hoboken, New Jersey; and the U.S. headquarters in Manhattan, with additional WELL Certifications expected this year.

Sit or stand

Active workstations, like these sit-to-stand desks in Hoboken, help employees meet many of their health-oriented goals.
