Create a healthy workplace environment

Every employee experiences work differently. Some feel energised at home, while others do their best in the office. Many face challenges that affect their health and wellbeing, such as:

  • Struggling with time, energy and meeting deadlines
  • Struggling to adapt to hybrid or changing workspaces.
  • Feeling isolated when working remotely.
  • Finding it hard to focus, concentrate or stay productive.
  • Feeling unsettled or irritated by their workspace.
  • Worrying about mental health and overall wellbeing.

The Senses@Work™ self-assessment program highlights these challenges and provides insights to support inclusive design, helping you create a healthier, more productive workplace environment where everyone can thrive.

    Save time, cut costs and increase profitability.

How is Senses@Work™ different?

  • Senses@Work™ is a sensory processing test: it measures how intensely people respond to environmental stimuli based on their neurological thresholds – we are measuring basic DNA and behaviour patterns.
  • Other typical performance tools do not consider sensory processing for choosing the best-fit workspaces and workplace productivity.
  • It is not a personality test because we believe extraversion/introversion is not the best guideline to decide if people should work in quieter or busier workspaces.
  • Senses@Work™ provides an easy and straightforward view of your best-suited workspace and how to be more productive.
  • Your scores will explain how you are wired to unconsciously respond to sensory stimuli and how this influences your daily navigation in the workspace.
  • Sensory processing is ongoing and operates in the background, without us even noticing. It is an automatic process that can either enhance comfort or cause stress in any work environment.
  • It considers daily attention, emotion, and behaviour from a bottom-up, lower-brain perspective, which differs from other assessment tools.
  • It provides an innovative, sophisticated way to match people with workspaces in the new world of work.
  • Developed by Dr Annemarie Lombard, who holds a PhD in Occupational Therapy (Health Sciences), and based on 30 years of clinical and training experience and research.
  • It is rooted in neuroscience and occupational therapy but applies interdisciplinary research, insights, and solutions.
