Productivity and the Built EnvironmentA position paper released by the Property Council has established the built environment as one of the most important drivers of labour productivity in Australia. Most working Australians now spend up to 80 per cent of their working lives indoors. With approximately 90 per cent of the annual cost of an office building expended on staff salaries and benefits, what may appear to be a small improvement in employee health or productivity can have huge financial implications for employers and building owners. The Property Council’s position paper argues that a more sustained effort must be put into addressing the factors which influence labour productivity.
