May 08, 2008 - Summer is nearly here and if, like many, most of your summer time will be spent sat at your desk in a stuffy or overly air-conditioned office no one would blame you for being fed up!
With over 25% of us putting in over 60 hours a week at work, almost one third of our lives are spent at our desks the environment at the office needs to be one in which we feel both relaxed and motivated.
Some people find that bringing in photographs of loved ones helps them to feel better at work whilst others prefer to listen to music or sit near a window. Whatever it is that gets you through the long working day there is another way to improve your mood.
Humble office plants have many benefits when introduced to indoor corporate spaces including bringing a bit of colour to what are normally drab surroundings!
Many modern office buildings are designed to be energy efficient spaces and whilst this may be a good thing for the bosses’ wallets, these windowless cells can have a negative effect on us.
Research shows that exposure to indoor office plants boosts employee productivity and morale as well as creating a more positive corporate image for the company in question.
Adopting ‘green’ policies this summer should not be seen as a costly payout but as a long term investment as the rewards will be found in employee output.
For those of us who have a less than perfect track record when it comes to keeping healthy plants, professional office plant suppliers offer ready made maintenance services to ensure your new found green desk buddy always puts a smile on your face!
