The new and innovative hub is the first one to receive a platinum award from the WELL Building Institute for its emphasis on the health and also the well-being of its occupants.
Olga Hopton, Managing Director of Plus X Brighton, focuses on ensuring that if people spend a lot of time at work, they can at least be delighted with their working space.

Yoga lessons from Namaste Yoga will be made available to employees about twice per week, including rosemary-infused tap water as well as the special produced ‘Productivitea’ by Bird and Blend Tea Co.
Rosemary infused water often is supplied in the meeting rooms, which is proven to enhance concentration and strengthen the immune system. And, mixes of essential oils help promote positive energy and motivation.
Plus X staff members will be provided with mental health services. Also, the company will introduce a dog-friendly policy that would encourage staff to bring their pet with them to alleviate stress.
Olga aims to obtain the Platinum Well Building Standards Certification, which has this slogan “Buildings and Communities that help people thrive,” ensuring that Plus X work areas are designed for wellbeing, safety, and agility.
“As an aspect of the Well building regulations, we are collating a Well Building Guide that would be accessible to the people, helping everyone who is using the space for optimal level of health and wellbeing, and we’ll also set up a library that empowers and boosts awareness and knowledge.”
“Our comprehensive schedule of events will include a wide range of wellness-focused activities and conferences, with yoga sessions at the start of every week, so that team members will positively begin their week.”
