Office Plants Cost Justification

Office Plants – How to Cost Justify

Overview

Office plants (whether large or small) are easily affordable.  We have chosen three different methods to cost justify indoor plant services, they are:

  1. Cost Justification, based on productivity gains
  2. Cost Justification, based on reduced sick leave
  3. Cost Justification, based on owning 11 plants.

It’s all about improving employee attitude and retention and your triple bottom line.

Good employee attitude and retention is simply a reflection on the employer.

Making the environment a pleasant place to work by adding plants is only one way an employer can look after staff.

Plants Are Important

We have noticed that in reorganised offices, staff move their plants with them.

Studies in America and Australia are showing amazing results in regard to employee attitude and retention.

They claim 12% productivity improvement in computer based trials when using indoor plants.

Method 3 – Cost Justification, Based on Owning 11 Plants

Cost Justification based on ownershipSome people think they save money by doing it themselves.

Where as all they probably achieve is:

.  sorry-looking plants and dusty containers,

. wasting someones time, when they could be better employed and

. downgrading their corporate image.

Conclusion

The cost of maintaining your own plants is equivalent to hiring them and a lot less trouble

In an office of 10 staff productivity gains of $60,000 are achieved.
