Silk Flowers can produce peace, positivity and productivity in your work environment this year!

As we stand on the threshold of a brand new year and opportunities abound, business owners will be setting new goals and seeking ways to increase productivity without drastically affecting their bottom line.

What so many will not realise, however, is that the mental well-being of their workforce can improve productivity enormously and there are some very simple ways to invoke a sense of peace and calm in the workplace which in turn generates an elevated mood and subsequently better productivity.

One of these is the introduction of greenery into otherwise plain or sometimes even dreary workspaces and this is not just conjectured either as extensive phycological studies and scientific research have been done to prove this.

As one report put it ‘’adding greenery, photographs or even changes in light or scent to office spaces – is thought to increase productivity by up to 15% as well as boosting overall staff morale and satisfaction. In a field study conducted across different commercial workplaces in the UK and the Netherlands, employees, who were previously working in lean office environments, reported an increase in memory retention and overall performance when their offices had plant life introduced to them.’’

What are the challenges?

Despite these benefits, however, keeping plant life happy in a work environment can be quite a daunting task, with watering, rearranging and cleaning around them as petals fall off. Dirty water can produce smells too – and of course, the regular replacement of fresh flowers can be very pricey if done regularly.

Interior spaces bring other challenges too such as low light levels, irregular temperatures, due to heating and air conditioning, and then there is the human factor, the people who may neglect to water the flowers.

Artificial Silk Flowers to the rescue

Although there are die-hards who advocate that you can never replace the look of real flowers, all these challenges can be eliminated by incorporating beautiful Silk Flower arrangements into the work environment. The look is stunning, incredibly lifelike and every bit as effective in terms of obtaining the same result as real flowers, without any of the headaches, and at a fraction of the cost!

Sometimes known as ‘faux’ plants (I love the term ‘fauxliage!’) silk flowers are derived from advanced 3D print technology making them so lifelike that people pick them or water them by mistake! They are far better for the environment and your employees’ health though, as by eliminating pesticides and carbon emissions from airfreight transport they are more eco-friendly – and they are more hygienic and hypoallergenic too.
