Why does your company need office privacy booths?

Booths address distinct acoustic challenges offices of every size face.
Day-to-day, they grant employees the private workspace and periodic seclusion needed to perform well. Pods like our Hushoffice collection are also mobile, making the layout more flexible and responsive to dynamic needs.

Every office space has a special set of acoustic parameters and challenges.
Acoustic Challenges for Small Offices Workstations may be in close proximity to each other. High levels of speech with clear intelligibility and the potential for distractions will then be likely. With sound traveling well between neighboring desks, sustained concentration is hindered. With limited physical barriers and without the employ of noise-insulating solutions like pods, speech privacy is a significant concern. The nearness of printers, photocopiers, AC units, and other office equipment may also add to the small space’s list of acoustic troubles.

Acoustic Challenges for Medium-Sized Offices More defined departments warrant a higher level of interdepartmental interaction.
As such, noise levels may be in excess if colleagues from different teams regularly collaborate and communicate across shared spaces. The larger team structure often means a more intricate layout. Thorough consideration and the right sound-savvy fixes are needed to work with this complexity, reconciling private and public zones. The sheer volume of footsteps, chit-chat, and other movements can also add to counterproductive surrounding noise. Transition areas like hallways are of distinct concern — they can be overlooked, notorious sources of deterring sound.

Acoustic Challenges for Large Offices Expansive, open areas may mean increased echo and reverberation.
Sound waves bouncing off hard surfaces have an especially prolonged decay time, adding greatly to ambient noise. Workstations may be spaced farther apart. But without well-engineered treatments such as panels and privacy screens, conversations carry longer distances, upsetting employees while compromising security. Communal cafes and lounges may be problem areas needing special focus. And with many operational elements — elevators, printing stations, etc. — ceiling baffles, sound-absorbing window treatments, and acoustic flooring are critical.
