As the entire globe continues to live through the ongoing pandemic, several companies opt to a work-from-home (WFH) arrangement as a new and counter-productive solution for working professionals seeking to pursue their careers. In some industries, however, they practice hybrid setup where working professionals have both work-from-home (WFH) and onsite schedules. According to a recent study conducted by Sprout Solutions, a significant number of companies in the Philippines have adopted the hybrid work arrangement due to the ongoing pandemic and health protocols. In another study by Cisco titled “Workforce of the Future,” ninety-three percent (93%) of respondents are utilizing the hybrid setup which has risen from the pre-pandemic figures of eighteen percent (18%).
Moreover, having a pleasant, appealing and clutter free workstation may help in boosting productivity at home. To make a home office cozy and work-efficient, working professionals tend to promote aesthetics through minimalist paintings, sleek wallpapers or other decorative materials. However, the most prominent ornament that has been famous especially during the pandemic is a vibrant indoor plant. Did you know that including an indoor plant in your home workstation entails several advantages especially to your overall health? Having an indoor plant in your area may help reduce stress.

In addition to that, indoor plants and an indoor bonsai tree can aid in boosting productivity and creativity, reduce air pollution within the area and cut back the possibility of acquiring diseases.
