Listless, less inspired, and easily distracted. Working in a drab environment surrounded by concrete does not promote productivity. Add plants to your workspace, and productivity soars. How is this possible? And how can your company capitalize on this? By literally making your corporate gift greener with plants!
With a plant gift, you give a piece of nature
Instinctively, the color green tells us it's safe: the green of trees, the forest, nature. Surrounding yourself with plants while working can do a lot of good, says Monique Kemperman. She is a campaign manager for houseplants at Mooiwatplantendoen.nl.
"We believe that because we come from nature, we feel better and safer with plants in our environment. They make you calmer, your blood pressure drops, and the stress hormone cortisol decreases." Plants thus ensure you are physically healthier. "Just look outside. Looking at concrete or cars or a view of a forest, that gives you a truly different feeling. You can create that in the office or at home with plants." Green gives us peace, but there are even more benefits to plant corporate gifts.
Plant corporate gifts improve air quality
Air quality is one of the most important factors for feeling good, both at home and at work. This is not just about outdoor air, but specifically about the quality of the air in spaces where we spend a lot of time, such as in the office, living room, or classroom.
The air quality in these spaces is negatively affected by chemical substances that are released not only by furniture, clothing, flooring, wall coverings, paint, printers, etc., but also by people themselves. Scientific research has shown that plants are able to absorb these substances from the air and thus purify the air.
Is every plant capable of this? No, not every plant can absorb harmful substances. Every plant produces oxygen to some extent, but not many plants have these air-purifying properties. For that, you need specific air-purifying plants. A plant corporate gift with these types of plants can therefore be a beautiful symbol of a healthy collaboration with your relationships.
A plant gift is a healthy gift
At Blooms out of the Box, we use plants that have air-purifying properties. Our plants come from growers who are members of Air so Pure. Fun fact: these Air so Pure plants are also called green medicine! This makes them a healthy and sustainable plant corporate gift.
The air-purifying ferns in our O2 out of the Box have the following properties:
- They neutralize harmful gases by absorbing and breaking them down.
- They improve air humidity through the regulating evaporation process.
- They make the air more vital by converting CO2 into oxygen.
Improved air quality has many benefits. As a result, a plant corporate gift in the office ensures that employees are less likely to get sick. Plants also improve mood and satisfaction [LINK to rewritten blog] of employees.
Air-purifying plants as a corporate gift
There are therefore numerous benefits to air-purifying plants. This makes them essentially the perfect sustainable corporate gift. And our BloomsBoxes can play a good role in this. Giving a BloomsBox to your business relations not only projects a socially engaged and responsible (CSR) image, but your green surprise also makes your business relations healthier, happier, and more creative. And this promotes cooperation!
