Office Plants for a Healthier, Happier Workplace
Summary
Numerous scientific studies have confirmed the positive impact of plants in the workplace. They not only enhance the environment but also contribute to better health and productivity.The Challenge of Indoor Office Climate
Maintaining an ideal indoor climate in an office is challenging. It's often too hot, cold, dry, or damp, and preferences vary from person to person. Additionally, office equipment and materials release substances that degrade air quality, leading to symptoms like irritated eyes, headaches, and dry skin. These issues make the environment both unpleasant and unhealthy.How Plants Improve Your Workspace
Plants can significantly improve office conditions throughout the year. During winter, heating causes dry air, while in summer, sealed climate systems with non-opening windows limit control over the environment. Even with modern climate control, over 25% of staff may be dissatisfied with their surroundings.Introducing plants can help. They add moisture to the air, absorb heat, and filter out dust and harmful substances. For instance, some indoor palms release significant moisture, while sword ferns and gerberas can clear formaldehyde from building materials and furniture. Other effective air-purifying plants include the rubber plant, English ivy, and date palm.
Choosing the Right Plants
Different plants offer various benefits. Some purify, while others humidify the air. For air purification, consider Parlour Palm, Kentia Palm, Ficus, Ivy, Boston fern, Philodendron, Spathiphyllum, and Mother-in-law's Tongue. For increasing humidity, try Boston ferns, African Hemp, Cyperus, Spider plants, Bamboo, and Spathiphyllum.Health Benefits: Fewer Complaints, Less Illness
Scientific research consistently shows that plants work! A study in a Norwegian hospital's radiology department found that introducing plants and artificial daylight reduced health complaints and decreased absenteeism from 15% to 5% over six months. Symptoms like eye irritations, dry throat, fatigue, cough, and headaches were significantly reduced.Stress Reduction and Improved Well-being
Plants not only improve the physical environment but also reduce stress. Just five minutes of viewing greenery can alleviate stress, and Dutch research indicates that workers with plants in the office feel better and are more productive, especially if they spend over four hours a day at a computer.A Green Indoor Environment
Many companies recognize their role in promoting environmental and employee welfare. Creating a healthy indoor environment with plants enhances a company’s ‘green’ image and supports health management initiatives. Employees can encourage their employers to prioritize this.Conclusion: Enhance Your Workplace
