\"Corporate<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Corporate campus gardens are a good initiative for corporations and businesses of all sizes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The benefits of taking on the task of building a corporate garden can be vast and bountiful, including for employees and company image. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. Team building<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Employees from every part of a company can come together and work toward a common goal, growing the bounty. This can create an environment of connecting people from different ranks within the company and foster a bond between individuals that don’t often connect. Of course, the efforts can also help create stronger ties between teammates. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Employee retention and recruitment <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Recruiting and keeping employees is a difficult task for any company, especially following the major shifts that took place during and following the height of the COVID-19 pandemic. For employers that must, or choose to, have a physical office space, culture is important–and creating culture around a common goal such as a corporate garden can be a beneficial activity for all employees to create and operate. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Culture, of course, can lead to retaining and recruiting new employees for the company. And as already stated, finding and retaining employees has not been an easy task in recent years. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Promoting healthy lifestyles<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

A healthy lifestyle plan that already exists can interconnect with a planned corporate garden, easily. Promoting a garden can also fit within the mission and values of a company already experienced in the Corporate Social Responsibility or ESG space. Additinoally, employees can learn about the value of a health diet by interacting or participating in a corporate garden program.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. Employee performance<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

For those that are thinking about installing a garden on their corporate campus or small business, building a positive workplace culture can also lead to better employee performance. As mentioned already, a corporate garden can assist in creating a positive workplace culture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As far as evidence of the trend toward culture, employees were over 10 times more likely to choose to stay in a position that had a good culture when compared to compensation levels, according to a report from MIT Sloan Management Review: “Toxic culture is driving the Great Resignation<\/a>.” <\/p>\n\n\n\n

5. Improved corporate image<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The creation of a corporate garden can help improve the public’s image on a company or corporation, potentially leading to increased customer retention and general interest by consumers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

For companies that focus on B2B sales, many downstream companies are looking for sustainability across their supply chain. Taking action on creating a positive culture by upstream entities may lead these enterprises to positive outcomes via creating a competitive advantage, such as focusing on a positive culture (better employee treatment) and thus an improved image. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
