In the work place
It is now strongly supported by research and observation that indoor plants can play a significant part in reducing absenteeism from the work place. The reasons are unclear, but it is likely that many of the factors are a subtle combination of the subliminal effects described above, namely, improved air quality, reduction of noise and the aesthetic quality of the displays themselves. All these factors contribute to a better sense of well being, reduced stress levels and open the way for a more relaxed workforce, better able to focus on the task at hand.
The fact that an employer has taken the time to consider their employees and has been willing to invest in their sense of comfort in the workplace may also play a factor by passing the message that “senior management does care”.
There is no evidence to support the idea that filling every available space with a plant is necessary to achieve the desired result. On the contrary strategic placement of high quality arrangements is thought to be more beneficial. Areas to target include; in close proximity to work stations, and in areas where staff congregate to relax and take breaks. In fact fewer can be better if attention is paid to the type of plant used and its position.
Guidance and identification
Plants can be useful in large spaces to help the functionality of the space providing attractive indoor “landmarks”. They can be used to break up spaces and provide subtle ways of indicating directional movement. They can also be used to mark specific areas, for example information desks, bathrooms etc. Direction to such places which may be difficult to find in a large area could be made easier if someone giving direction can say “it’s behind the large tree in the red pot”.
