The benefits of nature !
Employees who work in office environments with natural elements, such as plants, are 6% more productive. Furnishing offices with plants creates a more pleasant and stimulating environment, thereby increasing overall performance and well-being.
Results already seen in many countries
In the United Kingdom and the Netherlands, the presence of indoor plants is positively associated with productivity. In India and Indonesia, productivity is more closely linked to the presence of green colours in offices, while in Canada, it is the presence of indoor greenery.
Testing before implementation
A multinational company wishing to establish itself in a new country or region will certainly need to test the cultural compatibility of its working environment and biophilic design beforehand.
A request from employees
According to another survey conducted in the United States, 40% of people say they feel calmer and more relaxed thanks to the indoor plants in their environment. Others generally argue that plants make the office more attractive.
Combating presenteeism
Presenteeism is a problem that affects many countries, and it is essential to implement a variety of measures to remedy it, such as interior and exterior decoration of the work environment. Indeed, providing employees with an environment designed for a specific purpose can improve their perception, which will influence their well-being.
