Did you know certain plants can filter toxins left behind by cleaning supplies, printer chemicals, furniture, and carpeting? For example, ficus, ivy, lilies, spider plants, ferns, and palms are all ideal for this function. In addition, the right indoor office plants can help regulate air humidity and even temperature. The result? When your employees breathe cleaner air, they will be more relaxed and better able to focus.
Better still, cleaner air reduces sick building syndrome, which occurs when people work day after day in recirculated air. Ever notice how once a few people around the office get sick, almost everyone gets sick eventually? Eliminating sick building syndrome with indoor office plants will keep your employees healthier and can prevent employee call-ins for illnesses. Fewer call-ins means less stress and less struggling to catch up.
Also, if you really want to get serious about productivity, try introducing indoor office plants with mild fragrances like lemongrass or lavender. These scents have been shown to improve accuracy in math and typing tests. Fewer mistakes and improved focus can only benefit your bottom line.
Investing in indoor office plants means investing in the health and comfort of your employees. Not only will they reap the rewards, but you certainly will too. Not only will you save money by preventing lost work, you’ll also increase employee focus and productivity and enjoy the improved moods that come with cleaner, more breathable air.
