On average, they spend a third of their lives in it. However, most of them see the workplace as exactly that, a place to work or conduct business in and not much else. They do not comprehend the impact it has on their overall well-being. That is until they start getting stressed or sick, losing their productivity and missing time from work.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The things that trigger stress in the workplace vary greatly from one person to another. However, the things that can relieve stress are identifiable and common to many: a healthy biophilic environment is possible with a simple <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theplantman.com.au\/services\/living-art-series\/\">Indoor plant wall<\/a> that is conducive to working.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The Power Of An Indoor Plant Wall Inside The Office<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Research has shown that being <a href=\"https:\/\/www.takingcharge.csh.umn.edu\/how-does-nature-impact-our-wellbeing\">closer to nature<\/a> helps reduce negative feelings such as stress, fear, and anxiety. The improved emotional state translates to better physical well-being and overall health. That is why a biophilic office is the best working environment for people to deal better with work-related stress. With less stress, the productivity of employees is increased, and illnesses are decreased.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To have a biophilic workplace, it is not necessary to make your office look like a forest or a jungle with so much vegetation. A significant investment is not needed either. A few well-placed indoor plant walls will do the job.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Aside from mental and emotional stress, indoor plants can also provide relief for tired and strained eyes. It is a welcome sight after hours of staring at a computer or at several pages of documents. This is important in preventing eye strain and headaches, which reduces productivity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Improve Indoor Air Quality<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Plants can help clear the air inside an office by absorbing the CO<sub>2<\/sub> that people exhale and converting it to oxygen through photosynthesis. It also filters the smaller particulate matter and absorbs volatile organic compounds or VOCs, which contribute to indoor air pollution.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Regulates Temperature And Humidity<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Aside from cleaner air, indoor vegetation can help regulate the ambient temperature by cooling the air around it during transpiration. It can reduce the temperature by 10 degrees and maintain the humidity at a comfortable level of 30 to 60%, which is especially helpful during summer months. Come winter or the colder season, and the Indoor plant wall can retain some heat and aid building insulation. It reduces the energy cost from both air conditioning during summer and heating during winter.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Reduces Indoor Noise Level<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Noise pollution can be a problem, especially if your office is in a busy commercial district. Even the noise generated inside from devices such as printers, photocopiers, and the HVAC, can be enough to distract people from doing their best work. Indoor plants can help reduce this noise level by absorbing, diffracting, and reflecting sound. Instead of investing in sound insulation or soundproofing for your office, consider fixing an indoor plant wall as a greener alternative.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Good For The Employee, Better For The Company<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The list could go on of how indoor plants can boost employee productivity. By extension, this will ultimately be good for the company also. Aside from getting more out of their employees, they will also be able to improve employee satisfaction and increase employee retention. That is definitely a significant return on an investment that is as affordable and accessible as indoor plants.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n<div style=\"font-size: 0px; height: 0px; line-height: 0px; margin: 0; padding: 0; clear: both;\"><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Three out of every four employees work inside an office or building.
