Having flowers and plants in the office can lead to a more productive and happy environment. Studies have shown that employees working in lean environments decorated with a few houseplants and flowers tend to be 15% more productive. Flowers also tend to add to the atmosphere and make the office feel more inviting. Signing up for regular flower deliveries can make your job a lot easier, as you won't have to make regular trips to the floral shop. Put these 3 tips into action for fuss-free flower deliveries.

Choose Hypoallergenic Flowers

If you decide to order fresh flowers regularly for the office, take some time to ponder the type of flowers that are best suited for the work environment. Be considerate to others and order flowers that are not too fragrant and do not contain any pollen. Hypoallergenic flowers offer beauty without the allergies. Touch base with employees that might have mentioned that they have allergies to pollen to see whether the flowers you've ordered are triggering any physical symptoms.

Give the Florist Permission to Arrange Flowers and Place Them in Vases in the Office

When ordering fresh flowers to the office on a regular basis, you probably already have enough vases lying around. You won't need nor want the florists to arrange the flowers in vases. Instead, ask the florists to arrange the flowers in the office themselves using vases that you already own. The florists can also take this opportunity to verify that the flowers aren't placed near vents or any other areas that encourage them to wilt quicker.

Arrange for the Florist to Get Rid of Wilted Flowers As Well

If you order flowers from the same floral shop all the time, then the florists usually don't mind getting rid of the wilted flowers for you when they deliver the fresh ones. Wilted flowers need to be tossed in the compost bin and not in the garbage. The florists can make sure that the flowers are properly disposed of, so no one in the office has to be responsible for getting rid of bouquets after bouquets of floral arrangements.

Conclusion

Have the florists switch up the type of flowers that are delivered to your office each week. The varying arrangements will add some beauty to the office and a different element of style each time. The fresh flowers will brighten up the office, and make everyone feel a lot more cheery.
