Workable has become the first coworking space in Africa to achieve the WELL Coworking Rating, marking a significant milestone in the future of healthier, people-first workspaces across the continent.
Developed by the International WELL Building Institute (IWBI) in partnership with The Instant Group, the WELL Coworking Rating is the first global standard dedicated to advancing health and wellbeing in coworking environments. This achievement reflects Workable's ongoing commitment to designing workplaces that enhance wellbeing, foster collaboration, and empower people to perform at their best.
Workable is proud to announce that it has achieved the WELL Coworking Rating, becoming the first coworking space in Africa to receive this globally recognized distinction.
The WELL Coworking Rating, developed by the International WELL Building Institute (IWBI) in partnership with The Instant Group, is the world's first certification specifically created to recognize coworking spaces that prioritize health, wellbeing, and human performance.
Grounded in the WELL Building Standard, the rating evaluates workplaces across ten evidence-based concepts:
-Air
-Water
-Nourishment
-Light
-Movement
-Thermal Comfort
-Sound
-Materials
-Mind
-Community
These principles help create environments where people feel healthier, more engaged, and better equipped to do their best work.
For Workable, this achievement reinforces a philosophy that has always guided the business: exceptional workplaces should support not only productivity but also the wellbeing of the people who use them every day.
This milestone also builds on Workable's previous sustainability achievements, including becoming the first EDGE Certified shared workspace operator in East and Central Africa, further strengthening its position as one of the region's leading wellness-focused workspace providers.
