1. Plants in the office improve air quality<\/h2>\n

We don’t always think about it, but the air in an office space is often very unhealthy. Computers, copiers, printers … emit small dust particles and other substances that greatly pollute the air in the office. In addition, the use of air conditioning and heating create dry air with sometimes pernicious side effects such as dry eyes and a hoarse throat.
In an office space, it is not always possible to open a window or to ventilate sufficiently, so employees actually breathe the same air all the time. <\/p>\n

Plants in the office improve air quality. They have a purifying effect. Plants absorb CO2, converting it to oxygen, making the air purer and more pleasant and neutralizing harmful dust particles. <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

2. Plants in the office improve creativity and productivity<\/h2>\n

Research has found that plants in the office can increase employee creativity and productivity by 45 percent and 38 percent, respectively.
As little as one plant in the office increases creativity. Scientists suspect this is due to the calming effect of plants. Feeling calm and healthy frees up more space in your head for new ideas.
Plants can thus indirectly lead to more business growth and innovation.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

3. Plants in the office increase concentration<\/h2>\n

Not only creativity and productivity increase thanks to the presence of plants in the office. Research has shown that employees’ concentration also increases in a green work environment. This can be explained not only physically – plants simply make for healthier air, allowing you to concentrate better – but also psychologically. A green environment relaxes the mind, increasing concentration. <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

4. Plants in the office increase overall well-being at work<\/h2>\n

Greenery creates a relaxing atmosphere. This not only increases creativity and concentration, but also lowers stress levels.
Scientists have found that plants in the office can increase employees’ overall well-being by as much as 47 percent. Employees feel more satisfied and healthier in a green work environment, resulting in less absenteeism. <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

5. Plants in the office improve acoustics<\/h2>\n

Plants not only work to purify air; they also absorb sound waves and thus can be used to improve acoustics.
If an office space has many hard surfaces such as a concrete or stone floor, then plants are essential for reducing reverberation and noise.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

6. Plants in the office enhance corporate image<\/h2>\n

Plants in the office add to the atmosphere. They create an inviting and warm feeling, and this not only for employees, but also for visitors and other stakeholders.
A first impression is very important, and the presence of a few plants at the reception area can do wonders. Right away, your company gets a sustainable, eco-friendly look. <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

7. Plants in the office increase group spirit<\/h2>\n

Plants in the office encourage a sense of group spirit within a company.
Plants need to be cared for, and if this is framed in a common project in which different employees are given their own role, it encourages cooperation between employees. Social cohesion and communication are promoted.
An employee who feels involved in a project around a green office, for example, also feels more committed to the company itself, which makes for greater company loyalty. <\/p>\n
