We all like to get flowers, don't we? After all, they are so pretty and they smell so good. But now we have scientific research to back this up!
Research at Texas A&M University shows that flowers and plants actually help people to generate ideas and to solve problems. Roger Ulrich, Ph.D., the lead investigator in the study, says that the addition of flowers and plants to the work environment can be "...very meaningful to businesses in the modern economy."
If you have an office that's devoid of plants, bring a green houseplant to place on your desk or other area where you have easy visual access to it. And if you own a business, consider providing more greenery or vases of flowers for your employee's work areas.
Not only will you be boosting your employee's creativity and productivity, they will probably think you are pretty special too!
