What is it about?
The objective of this intervention study is to understand and to improve workers’ recovery from work stress. Therefore, we will study whether lunch breaks including a relaxation session or exposure to nature have more favorable outcomes than usually spent lunch breaks concerning: a) recovery processes, b)health, c) well-being, d) job performance and e) creativity.
