Benefits of plants in the work place – Greenscene

Plants do more than just add colour to your workplace, they also filter the air. Greenery in an office helps reduce anxiety, negative feelings and boost energy. By adding some greenery to your office you can provide a healthy environment where productivity and creativity are increased and employee stress levels are reduced. 

Plants increase productivity

Plants help increase focus and concentration levels resulting in fewer mistakes and faster completion of tasks. Doctor of Psychology Chris Knight, in his study of workplace efficiency, concluded that employees are 15% more productive when live plants are present in their workplace. 

Plants reduce stress

Research has shown that contact with nature can reduce the chance of employees suffering from stress related conditions. When employees are less stressed they are better able to handle their workplace duties resulting in increased productivity and job satisfaction.   

Plants produce clean air

Plants absorb pollutants, dust and strip toxins from the air and replace them with oxygen. Clean air results in a fresher and healthier environment for employees meaning fewer employee sick days and absences.

Plants increase creativity

Workers report more innovative thinking when they are surrounded by beautiful flowers. Plants help boost creativity within a workplace. Plants represent nature and individuals draw inspiration from them sparking their creative gene.
