Getting the best talent to work in a company is often make or break for a business. Ensuring the well-being and satisfaction of employees in the work-place influences whether an employee will stay or not.
Dr. Craig Knight has several studies on organizational and works environment psychology. Experiments have shown that employees perform better and become more creative in offices that are decorated with art compared to minimalist offices.
In addition, art in the office helps employees deal with stress at work, “thinking outside of the box”, promotes social interactions and has a positive impact on employees’ well-being.
Being surrounded by art at work can also help employees to feel more connected to the company, especially if they took part in the choosing and decorating process, according to Harvard’s studies.
