Abstract | Human factors and ergonomics (HFE) pays insufficient attention to nature-based solutions for workplace issues, despite evidence for its effectiveness, while also being relatively inexpensive to implement. Lumber, Richardson, and Albertsen discuss research evidence for the well-being, health, attention, and sustainability benefits of belonging to a wider natural community through nature connection and biophilic design within work-based environments. From there, the importance of practitioners utilising natural elements in workplace environments is highlighted before Lumber, Richardson, and Albertsen provide a critical outline for how these often-overlooked elements of human connections with nature can be incorporated into HFE for happier, healthier, sustainable, and productive workplaces. |
