Eulogies for the office abounded for months. Just a few years after massive building sprees in Silicon Valley, the coronavirus pandemic led tech giants like Twitter to offer working from home forever.

Not so fast, said Google, suggesting a hybrid work model instead. Even the CEO of Zoom argued that videoconferencing won’t replace office life anytime soon. Not to mention the industries—health care, manufacturing, retail and transportation—that simply cannot work from home.

As we begin to turn the corner and more employees return to workplaces, the debate shouldn’t be over the magic number of days to go into the office. Instead, with health taking center stage, the way we can relate to spaces when we are in them matters most. To keep employees feeling safe and happy, businesses and the commercial real estate market are adapting quickly, but not in altogether novel ways. They are more rapidly embracing what much of the sustainability community has been advancing for more than a quarter century.

From our collaboration with businesses, we see how many are rethinking their approaches to spaces to stay competitive and continue to attract top talent, while also focusing on ways that their offices can invest in health-focused technology and design practices. I encourage companies that once questioned how to boost interactions between workers to improve performance to now also consider how their very spaces can make employees healthier.

And that’s just work; let’s not forget about play. Households are ready to pump trillions of dollars of stockpiled cash and pent-up consumerism into the global economy if they can feel safe and healthy while doing it. Don’t be surprised if we are looking toward the Roaring 2020s instead of a Bubble Boy future—so long as restaurants, movie theaters and shopping centers can focus on health and wellness too.

A proven way that businesses can ensure wellness and recruit talent is through LEED, the world’s most widely used green building standard and the foundation of USGBC. The LEED rating system provides a path for reducing operational costs, improving efficiency, reducing emissions and supporting health. In fact, the benefits of LEED affect the health and prosperity of entire communities. LEED-certified buildings save money for families, businesses and taxpayers, while reducing carbon and creating a healthier environment in which people can thrive.
