6 ways to make your practice bloom

May 1, 2010

April showers bring May flowers, so why not follow suit? By implementing these tips, your workplace productivity will grow and your spirits will blossom.

Place flowers and plants (pet-safe, of course) in the reception area and break room. Research by the University of Surrey in England shows plants can decrease stress while enhancing productivity some 12%

Workplace stress drives 25% of workers to tears, according to a 2000 Integra Survey. To relax, buy a decorative water fountain for the lobby or break room.

Spring-clean your workspace to decrease stress and increase results: A study by Delphi Group finds that 30% of all employees' time is spent trying to find lost documents.

Play quiet music. A study from the University of Illinois shows that listening to music may increase the output of employees in all types of work by more than 6%

The European Commission found that 20 percent of workers feel fatigued after the workday and another 13% suffer headaches. One solution: Use soft, focused lighting from lamps to soothe your eyes and your mood.

During slow times, chat up your team members. According to an OfficeTeam survey, 40% of workers think water-cooler conversations increase productivity by promoting co-worker bonding.
