Interior planting enhances employee experience by reducing stress, improving air quality, and boosting focus. Workplace plants foster employee well-being through the principle of biophilia, leading to higher productivity and reduced sickness absence.

What is employee experience and how do you build it?

Many HR professionals and managers attempt to boost workplace satisfaction with temporary perks. Yet, employee satisfaction scores often remain static, as employee experience encompasses far more than isolated rewards.

The employee experience rests on three main pillars:

  • Culture: The atmosphere within the workplace and the organizational structure.

  • Technology: The tools and software employees rely on to perform their work.

  • Physical workspace: The design and layout of the working environment, including natural light, artwork, and planting.

Forcing people to adapt to outdated workplace practices yields limited success. Organisations achieve far greater results by adapting the physical environment to meet the needs of their workforce.

What is the role of biophilia and plants in the workplace?

An effective way to enhance the physical workspace is through interior planting. This relies heavily on the principle of biophilia: the innate human desire to connect with nature.

Our workplace specialists frequently report that spaces incorporating greenery immediately feel more welcoming, helping employees feel at home faster while lowering stress levels.

By bringing nature indoors through plants, natural scents, and organic textures, you enrich your team's daily working experience. In addition, interior planting provides practical benefits:

  • Sound absorption: Plants reduce disruptive background noise across the workspace.

  • Air purification: They lower levels of carbon dioxide and airborne dust.

  • Mental well-being: Natural elements help reduce blood pressure and alleviate feelings of stress.
     

What does scientific research say about the impact of plants?

The positive influence of greenery in the working environment is supported by numerous studies:

  • Faster task execution and improved focus: Employees with a view of plants complete tasks 12% faster and maintain better concentration than those without greenery in their line of sight (Source: Washington State University).

  • Fewer health complaints: Adding plants significantly reduced complaints such as fatigue and coughing among office and hospital workers (Source: Fjeld T., HortTechnology).

  • Stress reduction: Visual exposure to plants leads to lower blood pressure and reduced stress levels (Source: University of Vermont).

Whether you opt for living interior plants across your offices or atmospheric silk flowers at reception, greenery directly contributes to physical and mental well-being. Our service team helps maintain this harmony through targeted care, ensuring your planting remains in peak condition.
