Rapid ROI, Productivity Increases
An investment in speech privacy is a smart investment.
A sound masking system will pay for itself in less than one year. In fact, the systems can cost far less than other solutions for absorbing or blocking sound, such as slab-to-slab construction or adding insulation above ceiling tiles.
Productivity increases are proven in workspaces with sound masking systems. Studies show productivity increases of 3 to 20 percent1 per employee – putting an immediate return on the bottom line. Figure the construction and productivity returns you can realize with sound masking using Lencore's Cost/Benefit Matrix or ROI Calculator.
Why does productivity improve? Because having speech privacy means people can focus on their work. (One study showed that poor acoustics increased errors made by data entry staff by 27 percent2).
Consider this everyday example of why we all need good acoustics:
What happens when you’re driving, and are lost or need directions?
You feel stressed and you need to concentrate.
What’s the first thing most people do?
Turn the radio down – or off – to eliminate the distraction!
Without sound masking and proper acoustics, employees in any work environment can get similarly “lost,” especially when working on a new or unfamiliar task (we can all drive with the radio blaring when we know the route). It makes sense that controlling noise enables people to think more quickly and clearly!
