We Can Make You More Productive & Innovative

Texas A&M University did research observing the impacts of plants in the workplace.  In the study participants engaged in creative problem solving tasks in three scenarios:

  1. Around flowers and plants
  2. Around sculptures
  3. In an environment with no decoration

This resulted in both men and women demonstrated more innovative thinking, had more new ideas and original solutions to problems while being exposed to flowers and plants in their environment.  Men generated 15% more ideas and women generated more creative solutions.

Next time you have a meeting be sure you have some flowers in the room.  We really can help you build your business.
