Business employees are increasingly knowledge workers. They need a pleasant and healthy working environment to effectively process information, collaborate and innovate. Greenery in the work environment makes employees feel healthier, happier, and more energetic.In a green environment, we recover faster from minor illnesses, and are less likely to suffer from anger, depression, stress and anxiety. Greenery also ensures that we suffer less from heat stress, something that many cities around the world must increasingly deal with. In short: greenery reduces absenteeism.
Greenery reduces the noise nuisance experienced. It stimulates our concentration and creativity, and contributes to a healthier lifestyle. All these effects together lead to an increase in our productivity and learning performance.
Green in plain sight is best for increased productivity. A view of nature has a calming effect. It creates a pleasant atmosphere during formal and informal meetings. We are more problem-solving amongst greenery, which contributes to effective meetings.
Creative tasks in particular are carried out better in a green environment. This is an important advantage in today’s society in which innovation is increasingly valued. Green meeting places in an outdoor space are very suitable for this.
Green views help the eyes relax and refocus. Green views counteract fatigue and headaches. This is important when we sit in front of a screen for hours. A view of nature has a calming effect.
In VDU (video display unit) workers, an improved reaction time of up to 12% has been measured for computer tasks undertaken in a green environment. Another study showed that with a forty-second viewing pause on a green roof versus a black roof, those with a view of a green roof made fewer mistakes in computer tasks.
