Science-led tools for safer, more comfortable workplaces

Healthier workplaces, starting with how work feels.

How people are led, how their work is designed, and how the space around them feels all shape a working day. Sana Essencia gives you practical, science-led tools for each of them, in plain English.

For UK employers

Work-related stress is already part of your risk assessment.

The duty to manage work-related stress isn't new: it's the same one that covers every other workplace risk. And since 30 October 2026, employers must also take all reasonable steps to prevent sexual harassment, and can be liable for harassment of staff by third parties such as customers and clients. Read the 8-point checklist.

It's already the law

The Health and Safety at Work etc. Act 1974 and the Management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations 1999 require employers to assess risks to their employees' health, and that includes work-related stress.

HSE's six areas

HSE's Management Standards look at six areas of work: demands, control, support, relationships, role and change.

Assess, act, record

Managing it means identifying the risks, talking to employees, taking action and reviewing it. Employers with five or more employees must record the significant findings.

A wellbeing day is welcome. A risk assessment that people took part in is what counts.

Workplace Scent Plan

Scent can't fix heavy workloads or poor management. Good work design does that. Done well, though, it's the finishing touch people notice the moment they walk in. We plan it room by room, for the purpose of each space, with your team's agreement.

Our approach to scent

The finishing touch, done with consent

We explain what each scent does, what the research shows and what it doesn't. You and your team decide what goes in the air.

  • Always optional, agreed with the team
  • Care for allergies, asthma and scent sensitivities
  • Scent-free spaces always kept
  • We don't sell oils or devices: our advice is independent
