New Study Finds That Desk Plants Can Significantly Decrease Stress in the Workplace
The experiment, which was conducted on office workers at an electric company in Japan, measured workers’ pulse rates during two three-minute breaks in the workday: One while looking at and/or caring for a plant on their desk, and one without a plant present.
The study found that workers’ pulse rates were significantly lower during the break with the plant than without, leading the researchers to conclude that “having opportunities to gaze intentionally at nearby plants on a daily basis in the work environment can reduce the psychological and physiological stress of office workers.”
