Open plan offices are praised for encouraging collaboration, but they often sacrifice privacy and concentration. Phone calls echo, distractions abound, and finding a quiet space for focused work can feel impossible. This is where soundproof office pods and phone booths come into play.
The Modern Office Problem: Too Open, Too Noisy
In an open plan layout, employees often struggle with concentration. A Harvard study revealed that such setups can reduce productivity by 15%. Whether it’s a conference call, a brainstorming work session, or an urgent email, the need for personal focus zones is undeniable.
“I take multiple phone calls a day with overseas clients. Without a private booth, it’s impossible to concentrate.” — Operations Manager, Singapore
