Even if you don’t have a green thumb, you know that plants can make a big difference in an office environment. Plants are not only great decorations but they also have added health and wellness benefits. If your office or desk doesn’t have any plants around, it’s time to change that.

Why you need a plant in the office

Plants increase productivity

Some new and innovative companies think that they need to have a minimalist and sleek office with no extras, or plants. What they don’t know if that by not providing plants in the office, they are creating a negative effect on wellness in the office. It’s proven that employees who have plants in the office and on their desk were more productive than office spaces who don’t.

Plants freshen the air around you

Plants are great for purifying the air and adding more oxygen, depending on the plants in the office, the air quality around the office can improve. Plants are known for taking toxins like richloroethylene, formaldehyde and benzene out of the air and putting off healthy oxygen to breathe.

People will feel happier.

By adding plants your employees will automatically start to feel not only happier but healthier as well. Plants have added health benefits like lowering blood pressure, reduce stress, and can improve your overall mood. All of these things promote employee job satisfaction levels to increase.

Plants boots creativity

Plants help foster creative thinking and distract the mind just enough by giving you something to focus on other than the computer screen. Studies have proven that people perform better when any plant is in their line of vision.
