A paycheck and medical benefits may be the key reasons most Americans go to work, but the ability to work someplace that’s bright, airy and fresh also appeals to a great many of us, according to a study to be published next week.
Seventy-three percent of U.S. workers said office surroundings are important when considering potential employers, according to a survey conducted for Ambius, a Chicago area-based supplier of interior landscapes, which includes plants, of course.
While the results may not be startling — after all, who wants to work in a dark, gloomy office or job site — the poll did have one surprising outcome.
Of the workers surveyed, 11 percent said they wish they had “more attractive colleagues.â€
Apparently, greenery and a paint job aren’t the only way to brighten up the office.
