What if your office’s most significant productivity booster didn’t plug in, take up a vast area or cost the earth? The days of ping-pong tables, nap pods, and indoor slides are fading; it’s time to turn to nature. Sometimes, the simplest additions, such as a desk plant, make the most significant impact.
The Science Behind Desk Plants: 4 Proven Workplace Benefits
1. Plants Boost Productivity
A recent study by the University of Exeter shows that adding desk plants can increase productivity by 15%. This research suggests that an office filled with greenery increases employees’ work engagement by making them more physically, cognitively, and emotionally involved.
2. Plants Improve Mental Wellbeing
Working alongside greenery correlates to improved mood, morale and reduced stress. A study on the positive effects of office plants conducted by the University of Technology Sydney found that bringing plants into the workplace led to:
- 58% drop in depression or dejection
- 44% decrease in anger and hostility
- 38% reduction in fatigue
- 37% decline in tension and anxiety
3. Plants Spark Creativity
It has been proven that natural elements in the workplace fuel creativity and innovation. Plants’ vibrant colours and diverse textures create a mentally stimulating environment that engages the senses. A report by Human Spaces Global surveyed 7600 office workers in 16 different countries and found that workers in environments with greenery reported 15% higher levels of creativity.
4. Plants Offer Many Health Benefits
Plants not only look good, but they also offer numerous health benefits. By absorbing pollutants and releasing oxygen, plants are natural air purifiers. The Agricultural University of Norway found that having plants in an office was connected to a 25% reduction in symptoms of ill health.
