1. Yes, I think this wellness chamber is a good option for reducing stress. But I also think it would be better to change working conditions to avoid having to use these devices during work hours.
2. No, I don’t like to have something like the “AmaZen” in my office. I prefer to disconnect at the gym, on the street, etc., doing other things/actions instead of these wellness chambers.
3. Regular benefits review, regular stress management, no extra hours or work more 8 hours, to meet work schedules
4. Yes. Sometimes my job stresses me out.
There are periods when we have a peak in workload or many deadlines to meet, and during those periods I’m more stressed.
5. I manage work stress: disconnecting at the gym or shopping etc.
Great job sharing your thoughts about these mental health booths.

Well done!
I think the wellness chambers are a very good place to manage stress, I can imagine this places like a little room with a confortable chair, a tv playing a video of waves in a beach or a soft rain in the savana.
This places will be very helpfull for workers. It definitly stress out you .
I use to make handmade things, like painting, construction toys and in other hand listen some music, some time not relaxin at all like rock’n’roll
