Why Time Spent Near Water Is the Secret to a Happy Workforce

In a world where burnout, screen fatigue, and chronic stress are becoming the norm, companies are searching for new ways to support employee wellbeing, and the answer might be simpler (and more natural) than we think.


Water. Whether it’s an ocean breeze, the ripple of a pool, or the stillness of a bay, time spent near water has a measurable impact on our bodies, brains, and emotional state, and it could just be the secret to creating a happier, healthier, more productive workforce.

The Science Behind “Blue Mind”

Marine biologist Dr. Wallace J. Nichols coined the term Blue Mind to describe the meditative, almost euphoric state our brains enter when we’re near, in, on, or under water. Unlike the constant stimulation of our digital lives, water invites us into stillness. It activates the parasympathetic nervous system, responsible for rest, digestion, and recovery, and helps lower cortisol levels, reduce anxiety, and promote creative thinking.



Why Water Works for the Workplace

Water doesn’t just feel good, it’s also good for business. Studies have shown that nature-based experiences lead to:

  • Improved focus and attention

  • Higher morale and job satisfaction

  • Enhanced creativity and problem-solving

  • Fewer sick days and reduced burnout


By integrating water-based wellness experiences into your workplace culture, you're not only prioritising staff wellbeing, you're boosting engagement and productivity.

A New Era of Corporate Wellness

As work evolves, so should wellbeing. Sitting in a conference room talking about stress isn't enough. Today’s workforce craves experiences that restore energy, build connection, and support the whole human, body, mind, and spirit.


Time near water isn’t a luxury. It’s a strategy for resilience. And your team deserves it.
