1. Add a Plant/s to Your Office Spaces

Plants are notorious easy fixes to liven up a workspace. They offer color, life, produce fresh oxygen and even flowers. Better yet, plants are scientifically proven to be therapeutic, improve mood, sharpen attention and increase work satisfaction.

Just check out these two studies:

●  Researchers interviewed over 440 Amazon employees in India and the United States. They found that those whose office environment included natural elements like indoor plants felt greater job satisfaction and more commitment to the organization than those who didn’t work around natural elements.

 

 

Researchers said the natural elements helped to buffer the effects of job stress and anxiety. (PLoS One, 2016)

● Research done at Washington State University had scientists make workers finish timed computer tasks in rooms with and without plants.

In the rooms with plants, participants were found to be more productive, less stressed and had lower blood pressure. (WSU, 2010)

Our favorite low maintenance, indoor plant options that do not require any direct sunlight and only need some water every few weeks, are:

    ●  Peace Lilies
    ●  Spider Plants
    ●  Snake Plants

    People are constantly in a state of examining what’s around and in front of them.  Give their eyes and minds a Healthy Hack Tip.  Often small, digestible and especially Unique information is more sticky for our minds.  Our example below is unique because very rarely is it discussed within the subject of good breathing technique.  

    Here’s a couple high visibility spots to post a tip + an example tip you can use to trigger simple, healthy action amongst your team: 

    ● Post a health tip in your email signoff

    ● Communal locations are ideal, especially areas that are health promoting already (bathroom hand wash stations, filtered water station, kitchen/eating spaces)

    ● Example:  Try to Breathe out all the air from your lungs.  Doing this expels less oxygenated residual air and replenishes the body with more oxygen rich air.  You’re also contracting your abs to do this, helping strengthen your core.breathe air out for stress relief ideas at work
