New App Measures Workplace Quality

A desktop monitoring device linked to an app is improving workplace productivity and creativity, whilst helping to reduce absenteeism.

Consisting of a connected device for measuring temperature, humidity, noise level, lighting quality, light flickering and whether indoor air needs renewing; a software analytics package for reporting and mapping comfort areas; and a mobile app users can deploy to provide feedback on (as well as their perceptions of) workplaces, GreenMe has been launched with worker well-being in mind.

The service aims to assist employers by achieving measurable gains in productivity and creativity, and reducing absenteeism - as well as benefiting an organisation's internal image by demonstrating its concern for the health and well-being of employees.

Extensive reporting capabilities benefit facilities managers by providing objective data on comfort levels in real-time, which the developers claim allows for quicker and more effective interventions and more efficient regulation of the indoor environment.

Available in several colours, the system's cube-shaped device is installed on desktops or islets.

The mobile app is available for iOS (via The Apple Store) and Android (via Google Play), and allows users to log-in and associate themselves with a nearby cube device, read it; s data, and provide detailed feedback on each parameter the system is measuring.

A dedicated GreenMe Analytics tool can be configured to supply detailed data reports, and is commonly used in undertaking a rapid assessment of the workplace environment which can be benchmarked against applicable standards and recommendations.

Additionally, the tool provides facility managers with early warning of atypical changes to the indoor environment.
