IWBI Membership Program Welcomes New Organizations
IWBI members prioritize health and well-being across their organizations
NEW YORK, October 8, 2020 /3BL Media/ – The International WELL Building Institute (IWBI) is pleased to announce new organizations that have joined the IWBI membership program. The continued growth of the program signifies an increasing global emphasis on improving health and well-being through the spaces where we live, work and play. The most recent members to join this network include real estate developers, design and engineering consulting firms and product manufacturers.
“In response to the public health crisis, organizations are increasingly aware of how their workplaces, products, policies and programs are impacting the health and well-being of their employees, clients and communities,” said IWBI Chairman and CEO Rick Fedrizzi. “Through the IWBI membership program, these organizations are taking action to leverage IWBI’s expertise and play a leading role in prioritizing our collective health and safety.”
The continued growth of the IWBI membership program parallels WELL’s rapid global uptake across the globe as the tool of choice for leaders who value the verified performance of design and operations when the health and well-being of people is at stake. There are now over 660-million square feet of projects across 64 countries. Much of WELL’s success is driven by a global network of WELL APs and registrants, a community now totaling over 13,000 people.
There are two tiers of membership and a third designation for companies already enrolled in the WELL Portfolio program. This allows companies to select the best fit for their organizational goals. Member benefits include discounts on the WELL Certification process and WELL AP credentialing program, specialized opportunities to publicize accomplishments, and more touchpoints with IWBI leadership and across the broader community through members-only year-round events and enhanced digital engagement. The program creates pathways for WELL advocates and champions to stay connected, share best practices, explore new shared initiatives and receive greater recognition for these efforts.
