The first study, which examined highly-paid consultants in a swanky London office, found that participants who had direct view of at least two plants said they were able to concentrate better and were shown to have increased productivity, compared to workers who couldn’t see a plant.
Similarly, the second study, whose Netherlands-based health insurance advisers were less senior than the first study’s participants, found that employees within eyesight of a plant also reported higher concentration levels and workplace satisfaction.
A third leg of the study found that “green” workers took less time to complete a task – controlling for a rise in errors – than their “lean” colleagues did.
It makes sense: plants make people happy, and happy people are more productive. It’s not just plants that will do the trick: natural daylight, artwork and personal belongings can also boost productivity. As Exeter University's Dr Chris Knight, who worked on the study, told theGuardian, “If you put an ant into a 'lean' jam jar, or a gorilla in a zoo into a 'lean' cage – they're miserable beasties.” The logic extends to humans.
If you do opt for shrubbery, it's probably best to keep it watered. Droopy leaves don’t do much for morale.
