You bet your break room it does!<\/p>\n<p>In a recent study conducted by the Business Committee for the Arts in collaboration with the International Association for Professional Art Advisors, researchers established a positive relationship between on-the-job productivity and the presence of art in the workplace.<\/p>\n<p>Along with productivity, the study addressed other human factors including stress, morale and creativity.<\/p>\n<p>The survey polled employees from a variety of companies across industry lines, and overwhelmingly supported that art in the workplace:<\/p>\n<ul type=\"disc\" style=\"margin-top: 0in\"><font size=\"2\" face=\"arial, helvetica\"><\/p>\n<li class=\"MsoNormal\"><font size=\"3\">Helps combat stress<\/font><\/li>\n<li class=\"MsoNormal\"><font size=\"3\">Improves employee morale<\/font><\/li>\n<li class=\"MsoNormal\"><font size=\"3\">Heightens creativity<\/font><\/li>\n<li class=\"MsoNormal\"><font size=\"3\">Improves productivity<\/font><\/li>\n<li class=\"MsoNormal\"><font size=\"3\">Encourages expression and creativity<\/font><\/li>\n<li class=\"MsoNormal\"><font size=\"3\">Encourages diversity appreciation <\/font><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>What are the implications of this finding?<\/strong><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><font size=\"3\">The inclusion of     artwork in company offices has a strategic importance in<span style=\"color: red\">     <\/span>business planning.<\/font><\/li>\n<li><font size=\"3\">Including art in     your corporate budget &#8211; The benefits of including art in your corporate     budget may not only be apparent in managing human resources, but also in     marketing.           <\/font><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Consider these as some of the immediate benefits of including art in your company\u2019s marketing plans:   <\/p>\n<ol type=\"1\" style=\"margin-top: 0in\" start=\"1\">\n<li class=\"MsoNormal\"><font size=\"3\">The inclusion of art in company offices may be an excellent marketing strategy,     especially if the company is in the service sector where outside customers visit company offices on a daily basis. Many medical service providers in private practice continuously acquire art from OverstockArt.com to support a sense of calmness and security.<\/font><\/li>\n<li class=\"MsoNormal\"><font size=\"3\">Strategically placing pieces of artwork in company buildings is a strong public relations tool, setting the business apart from competitors. <\/font><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>In the long run, the inclusion of art in your strategic plans:  <\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><font size=\"3\">Points to social     responsibility, teaching employees and customers to appreciate the value of     art in society<\/font><\/li>\n<li><font size=\"3\">Enhances your work     environment, fostering the acceptance of diversity and boosting creativeness     among employees          <\/font><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>So, you think including art in your company office is a great idea! Now you\u2019re faced with a fundamental problem.<\/p>\n<p>How do you go about acquiring pieces of artwork? <\/p>\n<p>Begin the process with a step-by-step analysis of the company needs.  Buying artwork is an important decision that requires substantial consideration. Contemplate the following points:  <\/p>\n<ul type=\"disc\" style=\"margin-top: 0in\">\n<li class=\"MsoNormal\"><font size=\"3\">What     form of art, and in what medium? Oil paintings on canvas, wooden sculptures,     photograph. Our recommendation would be hand made oil paintings on canvas.     They are easy to maintain and oil paintings provide the most desired effect.          <\/font><\/li>\n<li class=\"MsoNormal\"><font size=\"3\">Themes and content (Nudes and morbid imagery are a no-no!)<\/font><\/li>\n<li class=\"MsoNormal\"><font size=\"3\">Quantity vs. quality- few expensive pieces or numerous cheaper ones. <\/font><\/li>\n<li class=\"MsoNormal\"><font size=\"3\">Budget- don&#8217;t spend what you don&#8217;t have. <\/font><\/li>\n<li class=\"MsoNormal\"><font size=\"3\">Design and d\u00e9cor issues (sometimes it\u2019s better to leave this to professionals)<\/font><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>After making the best decision for your company, it\u2019s time to get the ball rolling.  <\/p>\n<li class=\"MsoNormal\"><font size=\"3\">Designate     the responsibility of proposal preparation, procurement and collection     management within the company, or contract from outside. <\/font><\/li>\n<li class=\"MsoNormal\"><font size=\"3\">Consult with professionals in the art business. Our recommendation would be overstockArt \u2013 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.overstockart.com\/\">www.overstockart.com<\/a> &#8211; an experienced online retailer of hand made oil paintings; they do a great job of consulting regarding d\u00e9cor and budget requirements. Their prices and     quality were found to be the best on the web. Call them for free     consultation at 1-866-686-1888. <\/font><\/li>\n<li class=\"MsoNormal\"><font size=\"3\">Complete the acquisition and arrange for installation. <\/font><\/li>\n<li class=\"MsoNormal\"><font size=\"3\">You may arrange an open house after the acquisition where employees should be     encouraged to objectively appreciate the new collection (This helps to     stimulate creativity and promote diversity appreciation!). <\/font><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Congratulations, you&#8217;ve now joined the list of trend setting companies who motivate their employees to greater heights with the inspiration of art.
