5 reasons why you need plants in your office

Plants in Office
​With the return to in-office work, many employers are trying to find ways to make their workplaces more attractive, productive and healthier. If you’re among them, you might consider pulling in natural elements, like plants into your office. Here’s why:
​
​1. 
They’re stress busters.
Science tells us that plants can reduce tension, anxiety, depression and even curb anger and hostility. Some workers reported increased energy levels, too. It makes sense, because the color green is associated with calm. That means incorporating plants into an office environment can be a boon to morale.​

2. They can enhance your company’s appeal.
After months of working in sometimes dark home offices, workers are looking for more natural light (a condition conducive to growing plants). In a job seeker’s market, they’re going to prioritize roles that fit their skill set but also have aesthetic appeal. For instance, surveys indicate that a third of jobseekers say that workplace design and environment would influence their decision to join a company.

3. They filter the air.
There’s more interest in indoor air quality now more than ever, in part because of the pandemic. Did you know that plants can play a role in helping your employee breath a little better? Now for the good news? Scientists discovered that plants are natural air purifiers. In other words, plants make it a little easier to breathe in indoor environments. Even a modest-sized plant can make a big difference in air quality. This is especially beneficial to people with respiratory conditions who may be sensitive to dust and other allergens.
4. They help to reduce noise levels.
Does your office get loud when people gather? This can negatively impact focus and concentration. By absorbing sounds, plants can help to drown out such background noise. It’s a good idea to place larger planters in multiple locations in the edges and corners of a room is a proven strategy to create buffers.
5. They can boost creativity.
Plants don’t just look good — they can provide a mental boost, too. A study from Washington State University looked at the relationship between greenery and positive outcomes in an office setting. There’s also evidence that natural elements can make us more relaxed, thus putting our brains in problem-solving mode.
​Of course, plants are only as good if they’re in the context of a functional office environment. We can help! Look to us for your office supplies, printing, janitorial, break room, personal protection equipment and furniture needs, so you can concentrate on doing what you do best.
