Indoor Plants can Bust Workplace Tension!
Two-thirds of full-time workers across the nation say they experience stress in the workplace. This according to a recent random sampling of 600 full-time workers at Accenture HR Services. Almost a quarter of the workers surveyed expressed that they have taken at least one day off in the past because of stress.
“Greening” as a Stress Buster
Having plants inside does not just affect the indoor climate. Researchers have discovered that “seeing” greenery can result in a demonstrable reduction in stress within five minutes. Why not add a watermelon peperomia, one of the varieties of birdnest snake plants or the reliable, sturdy jade plant to your desk and workspace.
