People work much better when they are subjected to pleasant odors


If an employer suddenly begins to spray Peppermint scent in the workplace, it is not necessarily because he/she think the workers smell bad. The American psychologist William Dember has revealed that people  on a regular basis.

William Dember has made an effort with students who were asked to solve problems that required constant concentration. During the trial he sprayed Peppermint in the air for 30 seconds every five minutes. The students worked 15 percent better than another group of students, who just sat in a usually smelling room.

Other experiments have demonstrated that people's mood simply gets better when they are in fragrant surroundings. They will be more cooperative and when easier to a compromise, if there is disagreement. We had hoped that people would be less stressed and worn out after a day in the fragrant surroundings, but unfortunately it has become apparent that the smell does not help on fatigue.

It is almost equally, what scents are used. It need not therefore have to be Peppermint, but however, it is a requirement that the people who have breathed the scent, likes it.
