Walking into a stark and sterile office can drain the spirit from your staff before the workday even begins. Bringing natural elements indoors is a heartfelt investment in the people who build your business. Moss n Stone shares practical ways to use fresh flowers and botanicals to create a happier, healthier workplace. This is what you will learn:
- Review clinical studies on office botanicals and staff happiness.
- Understand the neurological benefits of natural spatial branding.
- Place specific arrangements strategically to support your team.
- Improve air quality and focus in enclosed meeting rooms.
If you have been looking for a simple, natural way to boost office wellbeing, fresh flowers could be the answer. The workplace is where your staff spend a massive portion of their lives and making it feel warm and human is an act of genuine care. In fact, just placing fresh botanicals in your commercial space can provide a range of psychological benefits for your staff and visiting clients.
At Moss n Stone, we know that workplace flowers and corporate floral arrangements do much more than simply look pretty. Whether you need calming office decor flowers for a boardroom or weekly business flowers for the Gold Coast for your reception desk, our team creates designs that actively support your business.
The ROI of Office Productivity and Problem Solving
Corporate florals are a direct investment in your brand and staff mental health. Fresh flowers have been associated with improved mood and reduced stress, helping create a more positive workplace environment. Let us show you the true value and benefit of spatial branding.
- Increased Productivity
Workplaces enriched with plants and flowers can experience increased workplace productivity. Employees consistently report feeling significantly more engaged, focused and happier with their daily environment.
- Cognitive Function & Absenteeism
According to research highlighted by Dr Jenny Brockis in The CEO Magazine, green-certified offices report a 26% increase in cognition and a 30% reduction in absenteeism notices in workplaces with flowers or plants.
- Improving Air Quality and Focus
Beyond their visual appeal, plants and flowers can also benefit enclosed office environments. Multiple studies by NASA demonstrate that plants and flowers help remove volatile organic compounds from the air, which in turn improves cognitive function.
- Men are proven to generate more new ideas and a fresher perspective
- Women report substantial increases in creative problem-solving and flexible, innovative thinking.
- Tension Reduction
The presence of flowers triggers immediate happiness and increases positive social behaviour. Introducing just a few plants into an office space can reduce workplace tension and drastically lower feelings of anxiety, fatigue and hostility.
Strategic Placement for Maximum Results
If you are worried about your corporate budget, we always recommend starting with one high-visibility area before scaling up. These are the best places to place a floral arrangement:
- The Foyer and Reception Desk: Create a warm, welcoming first impression for visiting clients with a large branded arrangement in your company colours. This sets a professional tone immediately.
- Boardrooms and Meeting Rooms: These high-stakes environments demand calm. We use low-scent arrangements to improve focus during negotiations without triggering staff allergies during long discussions.
- Communal Staff Rooms: Bright, cheerful bouquets placed in the breakroom encourage positive social behaviour, informal brainstorming and staff bonding over coffee.
- Individual Desks: Small potted succulents or single-stem vases offer a personal connection to nature and gently reduce individual stress levels while requiring minimal maintenance.
