She is one of the industry leaders in healthy buildings and serves as a research adviser to the International WELL Building Institute. Yoko cofounded Mirai Work Space Alliance to help businesses promote their employee wellbeing with a human-centric workplace design. For any business, it is a challenge to retain good employees.

Yoko often incorporates spatial concepts of Japan into her broad and scientifically supported knowledge of the healthy work environment. The value of Japanese space on health and mind, such as healing and mindfulness, has been well documented. She offers talks on the human centric workplace and on the contribution of Japanese concepts to it.
