Custom Programs to align with Business Values and Strategies
Work with companies to identify and tackle negative impacts to the business as it relates to employee well-being and corporate CSR. One example is developing an app that supports workers by geo-locating their position to suggest the best routes, time to leave for the office and notifying managers of any delays to reduce the stress of commuting. If any delays are noted, the app can also trigger mood-boosting support to be ready upon approach (e.g. a coffee ready at desk).

Employee and Occupant Satisfaction Audits and Surveys
One of the best ways to identify opportunities and innovation is to regularly check-in with building management, corporate tenants and building occupants (corporate employees and building staff).
Using a combination of surveys delivered via email and app, alongside audits of space usage and occupant behavior, Senaura Spaces will continuously enhance recommendations based on fact rather than assumption. Data can be gleaned in everything from supply chain (food, air usage, toilet paper, etc) to sentiment to occupancy levels.
Data will be regularly analyzed to drive action and establish metrics and benchmarks.
Marketing Support
Ensures that investments into the well-being of occupants are understood and communicated to key stakeholders and audiences by providing guidance on the best communication channels and marketing assets to stand out from the competition and create buzz worthy recognition.
