"Both lack of stimulation in the workplace and dirty working environment can have a long-term cognitive effect on employees". Beware that spending long time at such workplace can hamper your brain function, leading to a decline in reasoning, memory, attention and language capabilities.
According to researchers from the Florida State University, both lack of stimulation in the workplace and dirty working environment can have a long-term cognitive effect on employees.
"Psychologists say that the brain is a muscle, while industrial hygienists point to chemicals in the work environment that may cause decline," said lead researcher Joseph Grzywacz, the Norejane Hendrickson Professor of family and child sciences.
"There are real things in the workplace that can shape cognitive function: some that you can see or touch, and others you can't. We showed that both matter to cognitive health in adulthood,” he explained.
