On this episode of B. Listening we are joined by Susan Kench, Founder of Nature In Mind, to explore the powerful impact of nature connectedness and forest bathing for workplaces.

Nature In Mind offer several transformative workshops, carbon literacy training, away days, and programmes ranging from forest bathing experiences to a 12 month programme focused on embedding nature into your organisation. Partnering with outdoor education organisation, The Hive, and an organisational change consultant; they help weave employee health and the health of the planet into organisations, increasing pro nature values and encouraging behaviours that protect nature.

With a 15 % increase in worker productivity when office spaces are enhanced with plants, and 11 hour decrease in sick leave when employees have a view of landscapes and trees - imagine the impact of a workplace that weaves nature into its culture.
