SYDNEY, 7 June 2023 – Global property services firm JLL, has achieved the Platinum WELL Rating for its Parramatta office - the highest level of recognition awarded by the International WELL Building Institute (IWBI) for exceptional workplace wellness.

The rating was achieved after a rigorous certification process that evaluated the building's performance based on the IWBI's WELL Building Standard, which aims to promote health and well-being through the built environment.

Head of JLL’s Parramatta Office and Head of Industrial & Logistics - Australia, Peter Blade said, "We are thrilled to receive the Platinum WELL Rating for our Parramatta office. We believe that investing in the well-being of our people is critical to our success as a business and as a responsible corporate citizen. Our goal is to create a workplace that supports and inspires our people to be their best, both professionally and personally."

Designing and delivering the space, JLL’s Project Management team (PDS) managed the process from conception to completion, providing a fit-for-purpose workspace that supports best work practices and well-being for JLL’s people. Featuring the latest technology in the workspace ensures a seamless experience for JLL’s Western Sydney team and its clients.

The office incorporates a variety of wellness features and amenities, including ergonomic workstations, sit-to-stand desks, natural light-filled spaces, green walls, and a dedicated wellness room.

The space has been designed to encourage JLL’s people to move freely between Sydney CBD, North Sydney and Parramatta offices to better suit personal and professional needs.

JLL’s NSW Managing Director, Andrew Ballantyne said, “As a leading professional services firm, we understand the critical role that a healthy workplace environment plays in driving employee satisfaction, engagement, and performance. By creating a healthy and productive workplace for our own people, we are able to lead by example and demonstrate the positive impact that sustainable design and operations can have on both people and the environment.

“This recognition reinforces our commitment to providing sustainable real estate solutions and exceptional workspaces for our people and our clients,” said Mr Ballantyne.
