The world is quietly draining more than $1 trillion in economic output every year due to poor brain health, yet it’s one of the most overlooked drivers of performance and innovation. Brain health is the study of how the brain works and how it affects our behavior, cognition, emotions and wellbeing.

Workplaces -- where most people spend the majority of their waking hours -- play a critical role. Designing environments that reduce stress, promote focus and foster human connection can help unlock creativity, resilience and $26 trillion in global value.
