Need more good reasons to plan your acoustics carefully?

Here are several:

  • Open plan offices are the norm. Every employee working in them would appreciate — and benefit from — having speech privacy.
  • We all have less space, which means less speech privacy. The drive to reduce real estate costs often results in less square footage per employee and increased numbers of people in one space.
  • It's noisy out there. Noise is the number-one problem in today's workspaces, according to numerous independent studies.
  • On average, people spend one fourth of their workday in noise-generating activities. One person in a standard open plan setting can distract as many as eight people — even more in a call center environment.
