The staff need fresh air, not an increase in indoor air pollution. Make sure that the area is well ventilated, carbon dioxide build up can make people drowsy. Give them regular breaks too.





Fragrances do not benefit people's health, they can only mask odors. If you have no bad smells then adding smells is not a good idea.How to use lavender oil in office to destress staff ?

See it's a software/computer work.staff only in Office.. You cannot trick them to work long hours of the day, at the risk of their own lives..


As an experienced Doctor I have to say, ,early symptoms, will be blurring of vision and progressive loss of eyesight too for the employees and you lands up in bankruptcy..Now the vision problems mentioned above is ';CVS';/Computer Vision Syndrome has been included as an Occupational Health Hazard, by WHO, ILO %26amp; Govts..The radiation emitted from the pc screens have this direct effect on the eyes. What is required is to give a period of rest for 15 to 20 mints for every 2 hrs.for the staff to relax outside. They can try out neck exercises, etc. to relieve neck strain and long sitting postural problems too. Availability of a good nutritious cafeteria also. in turn will encourage the employees to execute the computer related jobs to be expeditiously done/work of 5 hrs may be over in 2 hrs time even.


A good office atmosphere, to be maintained by an housekeeper and periodical medical exam's of the employees are also a must. This way Only you can ascend without scent so also sleep well, without disturbing the sleep of your staff..
Certainly you do not want to overdo it and Dave is correct is saying that fresh air and good ventilation would be beneficial. However, he misses the boat when he says fragrances have no health benefit (provided that you use natural essential oils without overdoing it as well as live fragrant plants and avoid artificial air fresheners and scent products which often contain harmful chemicals).





We've all heard the old adage that we should take breaks and ';stop and smell the roses'; to relieve stress, and Aromatherapists have long believed in the power of fragrance to lower stress levels, although until recently there's been little scientific evidence to support it.





Now it appears that just like the advice our mothers and grandmothers gave us to ';eat an apple a day to keep the doctor away';, the advice ';stop and smell the roses'; from time to time may be yet another popular bit of old time wisdom that rings true.





Scientists in Japan have reported the first scientific evidence that inhaling certain fragrances doe indeed alter gene activity and blood chemistry in ways that can reduce stress levels.





The study, which appears in the American Chemical Society's Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry, exposed lab rats to stressful conditions while inhaling and not inhaling linalool, which is a fragrance found naturally in lavender, mint, coriander, bergamot, lemon, mango and many other fragrant plants. After inhaling linalool, the rats which were exposed to stressful conditions had stress-elevated levels of neutrophils and lymphocytes return to near normal levels (both neutrophils and lymphcytes are key parts of the immune system).





The scientists also found that inhaling linalool reduced the activity of more than 100 genes that are normally significantly elevated in stressful situations. The findings could form the basis of new blood tests for identifying fragrances that can soothe stress, the researchers say. While linalool has been one of the most widely used substances to ease tension and emotional stress, until the new study the ways in which linalook effected the body have been an unsolved puzzle to scientists.





A suggestion for improving the quality of the air for your workers and improving their production in the process is to make extensive use of houseplants. To learn more about the benefits of using houseplants to remove toxins such as trichloroethylene, benzene, and formaldehyde from the air, and replace carbon dioxide with oxygen see this article I wrote for Natural News:
