THE SCIENCE
Research from the University of Exeter shows that plants in the office can increase productivity by up to 15%. Employees report improved concentration, higher satisfaction, and greater engagement in a green work environment.
A study published via PubMed concludes that contact with nature in indoor spaces reduces stress and has a positive effect on cognitive performance, well-being, and mental peace. Even limited greenery appears to make a noticeable difference.
According to research by the Association for Psychological Science, people feel more creative, comfortable, and productive in a green office environment. A workplace with plants scores better than a minimalist office without natural elements.
