Abstract

The tendency of modern workers to their job as a temporary place companies in a dilemma with employee development. Employee development that does not meet workers’ growth needs will lead to lower commitment and job satisfaction, and companies will fall out of the competition in the long run. A great deal of investment in employee development places businesses at risk of having employees walk out the door with the company’s investment. The importance of employee development has increased, and retaining employees is the key to success. People’s willingness to stay with a company is significantly influenced by their level of job satisfaction. Despite the fact that there are many ways to improve employee satisfaction, including wage increases, compensation reform, and flexible scheduling, employers are disregarding the benefits of improving the workplace environment. It is both effective and efficient to improve the work environment by bringing plants into the office. Research has shown that plants have a positive effect on employee well-being by reducing anxiety and stress levels. The presence of plants in the workplace is also noted to improve employees’ perceptions of air quality in the workplace. The purpose of this paper is to provide a literature review that examines the benefits of placing indoor plants in the office to enhance employee satisfaction and reduce employee turnover.
