I'll admit it, I want to sell you equipment for the office and I'm going to attempt to do that at every chance I get. You see, you really do need a new printer for Dave in sales and Julie would be much happier in her day to day work if she could have a new desk. But I'm going to switch off my sales pitch and go all luvvy for a second. You see, you can cheer everyone up really easily.
Buy a plant.
Dr. Roger S. Ulrich of Texas A&M University knows his stuff when it comes to making people tick and he reckons (I'm being flippant, he *proved* it) that when people have an exposure to general greenery in the form of plants and trees in the office, their productivity increases too.
In his words:
"Our research shows that a change as simple as adding flowers and plants can be important in the most meaningful way to businesses in the modern economy," said Dr. Roger Ulrich, lead researcher on the project. "People's productivity, in the form of innovation and creative problem solving, improved - which in certain circumstances could mean the difference between mild and great business success."
Wow. Maybe we should start selling fuchsias?
