Pleasant Scents Benefit Employees and Customers Alike

Experiencing unpleasant odors in any situation can be very off-putting for all involved. Whether you are trying to entice customers or create a stimulating environment for your staff, it is always in a company’s best interest to employ an ambient scent system. Foul odors in the workplace negatively affect the health and productivity of employees. In fact, in a recent study, employees who worked in a pleasant-smelling environment reported higher levels of self-belief, set higher goals for themselves and were more efficient in their work. On the other hand, participants in that same study that were confronted with unpleasant scents showed higher levels of frustration and struggled to make judgment calls.

If you are looking to create a more pleasant-smelling environment for your employees, here are a few suggestions:

• Rosemary – Encourages clear thinking, improves memory and energizes the mind.
• Citrus – Grapefruit can help fight mental exhaustion, lemon is uplifting, and orange can ease stress.
• Lavender – Reduces stress and anxiety.
• Peppermint – Energizing and refreshing and can aid in concentration.
• Cinnamon – Can help fight mental fatigue and improve concentration.
