The workplace of today is a busy, noisy place. The phones are ringing constantly, there are multiple conversations all happening at the same time, the noise of office machinery in operation and the constant foot traffic passing by all combine into an unpleasant din that is extremely distracting and not at all conducive to concentrating on tasks and accomplishing one’s best work! All of this makes for a workplace that is a highly stressful space for employees to be in all day, and those harried employees are growing increasingly disgruntled by the stress and are complaining that the situation is having an adverse effect on their work, as well as damaging their sense of comfort and overall well being!
In the long term this is an untenable situation for the employees, the management, and for the business itself! Forward thinking employers consider their employees well being to be a top priority, and will take whatever steps they deem necessary to address the problem. Fortunately, a new solution has become available, the installation of an acoustic booth in the office space. Office workers will tell you that they wish they had a quiet place they could go to when they need to concentrate on an important project without a lot of distracting noise. By making sure that one or more acoustic booths are available you will be providing them with a refuge of silence they can calm down in so they can focus on doing their very best work in peace and quiet.
Employees spend the greater part of their day in the office, so it should be a positive, safe space. Here are some of the reasons why an acoustic booth can make that happen!
Boosts Work performance – Having a positive sense of well-being has been shown to boost the employee’s performance at work, inspiring them to be more productive, more creative, and more eager to listen to new ideas and collaborate with their colleagues, all of which is made easy in an acoustic booth.
Positive Company Culture – Making employee well-being a priority helps build and maintain a positive company culture. The acoustic booth can facilitate increased camaraderie, mutual respect, and a sense of a shared purpose that will help employees feel more positive about their work.
Reduces Distractions – The workplace is a hive of activity with a constant level of noise making it difficult to concentrate and causing stress. Nervous, stressed out employees aren’t able to accomplish their best work. That’s when an acoustic booth can make a big difference by giving them a quiet space where they can enjoy some tranquillity while focusing on the tasks at hand.
Increases Employee Retention – When the employees are happy because they know they can have some quiet time in the acoustic booth, they are more likely to want to work for the company long term. This makes retaining talent easier because they feel valued, comfortable, and invested in building their career in a company that looks after their needs.
Those are just some of the positive results of installing an acoustic booth in your office space. Noise can come in many colours, but silence is always golden!
