About JK Building Wellness
Creating healthier workplaces in New Zealand
What is Building Wellness?
Building wellness is the science and practice of designing and maintaining indoor spaces that support the health, safety, and well-being of everyone inside. In today’s world, where people spend up to 90% of their time indoors, especially in offices and commercial buildings, ensuring a healthy indoor environment has never been more important.
At its core, building wellness means improving indoor air quality, reducing exposure to harmful contaminants, using safer cleaning products, and creating workplaces that promote mental clarity, comfort, and productivity. A well-maintained and health-focused building isn’t just good for people, it’s good for business.
Why we created JK Building Wellness
JK Building Wellness was born out of our belief that clean spaces aren’t enough, we need healthy, high-performing buildings that support the people who work in them. As part of the Jani-King family in New Zealand, we launched this initiative to elevate our commitment beyond cleaning to embrace full-spectrum workplace wellness.
Our goal is simple but powerful: Change people’s lives, one building at a time.
Our mission|
Healthier Buildings for Better Lives
Our mission is to transform how businesses in New Zealand think about their indoor environments. Through building wellness solutions, we help organisations create healthier workplaces that:
Boost employee productivity and focus
Reduce sick days and absenteeism
Enhance overall well-being and workplace satisfaction
From air quality to hygiene to surface health, we’re redefining what it means to have a truly clean and wellness-first workplace.
How we support workplace wellness
At JK Building Wellness, we take a holistic approach to indoor environmental quality (IEQ). Our services combine advanced technology with innovative cleaning methods to address the full spectrum of building wellness factors.
We use:
- Indoor air quality (IAQ) monitoring systems to track and optimise carbon dioxide (CO₂), VOCs, temperature, humidity, and more.
- Probiotic-based cleaners that reduce harmful bacteria while supporting a balanced microbial environment on surfaces.
- Sustainable cleaning practices that align with WELL Building Standard™ principles and other green building certifications.
Our focus is on measurable outcomes that improve the health and comfort of building occupants.
