This review underscores the importance of creating healthy workplaces, and I must commend the authors for their thorough work. However, it raises some critical questions regarding the consistency of evidence linking workplace design to key outcomes like employee satisfaction and productivity. I would be interested in the authors’ perspective on whether they agree that strengthening these findings could benefit from more rigorous, longitudinal data and exploring the nuanced interactions between various workplace characteristics. Additionally, a deeper investigation into the economic impact, beyond just sickness absence, would be invaluable for building a more comprehensive business case for investing in healthier work environments.

I look forward to an enlightening discussion with the authors. Thank you!
