5. Promote healthy wellbeing
With biophilia improving the air quality and reducing stress levels, it’s no wonder general wellbeing in the office also rises by 13%. Staff feel safer, can more easily concentrate and feel overall happier.
6. Fewer staff absences
Research proves that unhappy employees take more sick days. In fact, the happiest take 66% less. Improved air quality and reduced stress are big factors here, but healthy wellbeing also plays a big part. A Biophilic workplace promotes collaboration and can bring your staff together.
7. Increase productivity
The presence of plants within an office can reduce feelings of tiredness by up to 38%, and less tired staff are more productive. Improved creativity, better wellbeing and fewer absences are also massive factors in the reported 8% rise in productivity as a direct result of installing plant life, like a living wall, in the office.
8. Environmentally aware
Biophilic office design can help present your environmental goals as a business, helping to supplement your ESG strategies and create a green office space – which both lead to even more benefits! Check out our ESG policy for a in-depth look at how we aim to reduce our company’s carbon footprint, promote social responsibility, and champion diversity and inclusion in the workplace.
9. Attract and retain talent
Improving your office space is shown to increase staff retention by 53%, and that isn’t even looking at a Biophilic fit-out specifically. Employees are also shown to be more loyal to companies who care about the environment – so using biophilia to create a green office will only further help attract new talent and keep it within your company.
