Benefits of Office Plants
Benefits of Live Plants in an Office Space
No, it's not just a "gut-feeling" that plants make an office a better place to work in. The world's first long-term study of the benefits of plants in an office environment found a 15 percent increase in productivity amongst workers with live plants in vision compared to workers that didn't.
That's a lot more sales calls or lines of code! Of course, plants have major benefits beyond simple qualitative productivity boosts.
Quality of Life Boosts from Living Plants
A 2022 Literature Review found that a small amount of visible plants (especially in recreational areas) has a small, and significant effect on quality of life factors. Workers near plants, or with access to a plant filled break room had less reported stress and fewer sick days then those without. These effects are higher in offices that report high baseline stress levels.
The results are clear. If you want to have a happier healthier life in an office-based career, get some plants! Especially if your job or office is a higher stress environment already.
