Transforming workspaces: The role of office pods in employee wellbeing

Sadia
Office Pods

Modern offices are dynamic environments, but the open plan design that encourages collaboration can present issues if proper provision is not made for the need for private, concentrated work. While fostering communication is essential, a constant buzz and lack of privacy can hinder concentration and increase stress. But the good news is, you can provide your team with the best of both worlds by adding the flexible and innovative solution of office pods to your workspace.

Here at Lismark we supply a fantastic range of open-plan office pods to seat between 1- 6 people and to suit a wide variety of budgets and tastes, as well as acoustic and space requirements. However, no matter what your needs are, you can expect consistently great quality, durability and design, plus a great choice of chic and hardwearing fabrics.

Creating quiet spaces to boost productivity and wellbeing

Casual conversations, phone calls and the general hum of a busy workspace can make it difficult for employees to concentrate on tasks that require deep thought. This constant auditory stimulation can lead to mental fatigue and decreased performance.

This is where acoustic office pods make a world of difference. Designed with sound-dampening materials, they create a sanctuary of quiet within a bustling environment.

Enhanced focus: Individual office pods offer professionals the chance to escape distractions and dedicate their full attention to the task at hand. We offer a wide choice of solo work pods designed to offer a private sanctuary to concentrate on deep individual work.

Confidential conversations: Pods provide the privacy needed for sensitive phone calls, video conferences with clients and one-to-one discussions between colleagues, without the risk of being overheard or distracted. Check out our small 2-person work pods to find out more.

Reduced stress: A quieter environment helps lower stress levels. Having access to a peaceful space allows employees to decompress and recharge, which is fundamental to maintaining good mental health throughout the workday. We offer pods with varying levels of sound reduction, including Basic Privacy, Enhanced Privacy and Premium Privacy pods.

Enhanced comfort: With built-in LED lighting and super quiet ventilation systems being common features in the internal office pods we supply, working in this kind of compact space is as pleasant an experience as working in any private office. Ergonomic design enhances the experience even further.

Up-to-date tech: The ability to equip your office pod with power outlets, USB ports and cable management means the team have everything they need to connect and present seamlessly.

The versatility of office pods

The beauty of office pods lies in their adaptability. They can be integrated into almost any existing office layout, transforming underused corners or open areas into valuable, functional zones. The options are extensive, catering to different needs, aesthetics and budgets.

Meeting pods

Available in various sizes and styles, meeting pods can accommodate small groups of 2 – 6 people. They offer a private, acoustically controlled environment for team meetings, presentations or collaborative sessions. Whether you need an open pod that flows effortlessly into the office or a fully enclosed meeting pod with a glass door to replace the traditional meeting room, we’ve got you covered.

Luxury office pods

For businesses looking to make a statement, luxury office pods combine high-end design with superior functionality. Featuring premium materials, advanced technology integration and exceptional comfort, they offer a sophisticated and impressive meeting or work space. We offer premium acoustic office pods across our range, however our fantastic range of fully enclosed meeting pods is a great place to start looking.

Budget office pods

We offer a brilliant choice of budget meeting pods for businesses with £5,000 and under to spend per pod. These stylish, noise-reducing options are a cost-effective way to transform your working environment for the better, without incurring the sky-high costs that can be involved when more space needs to be added.

Office phone booths

Office phone booths offer a compact and stylish space for employees to make confidential phone calls or tackle a list of cold calls without distracting or being distracted by the team in the wider office. We’ve got a great range of stand-up pods for phone calls, as well as phone booths with seating which can also be used for video calls or solo work.

Investing in your greatest asset

Ultimately, office pods are a game changing investment in your employees’ wellbeing. By providing spaces that reduce stress, eliminate distractions and cater to diverse working styles, you are creating an environment where your team can thrive.

If you are looking to enhance your workspace and support your team’s wellbeing, exploring our range of office pods is the perfect place to start.

Revolutionising work habits with sit stand desks in the office

Sadia
sit stand desks

How often do you sit for hours at your desk, only to realise your energy has dropped, your focus is slipping, and your back is starting to ache? If this sounds familiar, it’s time for a workstation rethink. Here at Lismark, we know that a single, simple change such as introducing a sit stand office desk can make a huge difference to your productivity and wellbeing.

As experts in modern office furniture, we see time and time again how the ability to switch perspectives with a sit stand desk keeps your workday flowing and your mind and body switched on. We supply a carefully curated selection of sit stand desks for a variety of needs and budgets, but always with ease-of-use and hard-wearing quality guaranteed.

What are the benefits of a sit stand desk?

Switching between sitting and standing throughout the day might seem like a small change, but the cumulative effects are significant. Here are just some of the ways introducing a sit stand desk into your workplace can make a positive difference to how your team feel, focus and perform.

Boosted energy and focus

A stand up sit down desk beats coffee hands down when it comes to dealing with the dreaded afternoon slump. Available in six sizes, 14 desktop finishes and three frame colours, the Oblique Adapt Sit Stand Desk is designed to blend in seamlessly with your existing office furniture. Two top of the range Bosch motors mean this strong and durable desk couldn’t be easier to adjust at the touch of a button when it’s time to shake off that fatigue and sharpen your attention for those after-lunch emails.

Enhanced employee wellbeing

The physical health advantages are one of the most compelling reasons to invest in adjustable desks for standing or sitting. As well as low energy, too much sitting is tied to issues with back pain and poor posture, which can cause significant health issues if left unaddressed. By providing a sit stand office desk, you’re encouraging healthy movement, supporting proper alignment and showing your commitment to the wellbeing of your team. The Five Sit Stand Desk features a functional dual motor and is a design talking point with its striking pentagonal tapered leg and matte finish lacquer that showcases the raw steel, welds and heat spots that are created as part of the high specification production process.

Fostering a dynamic culture

Great offices don’t just look good – they enable people to do their best work. Collaborative sessions get a boost with a sit stand meeting table, and many of the larger models of our sit down stand up desks provide ample room for two or more colleagues to gather for a catch up or a brainstorming session. However, when you need a sit stand solution for two, look no further than the Duo Two-Person Sit Stand Desk. This back-to-back benching system offers the ultimate in flexible workstations for your team and is available with a dividing screen so employees can get on with deep solo work uninterrupted.

Choosing the right sit stand solution

Our friendly and knowledgeable team will use their expertise to help you find the perfect stand up sit down desk for your individual needs. If you’re looking for a fantastic and reliable all-rounder, why not consider joining the many happy customers who have opted for our bestselling Advance Sit Stand Desk? Combining slick Swedish design with over 500 size, décor and frame combinations, it offers the perfect opportunity to create a beautifully bespoke piece of furniture for your workspace.

Clever options for small spaces

The Mini Sit Stand Desk offers the same high grade motors and electronic system as our bestselling Advance Sit Stand Desk in a compact design perfect for small offices, hot desking stations and even home offices. Alternatively, if you need a desk that can glide around your workspace as easily as it can move up and down, then the Flex Mobile Sit Stand Desk is just what you’re looking for. Its many configuration options and sleek, compact design mean a flexible sit stand solution is on hand wherever and whenever you need it.

Making the switch to a more active workday

Ready to change the way you work? Our team are here to help you through the process, from choosing the right adjustable desks for standing or sitting, to installing your brand-new sit stand office desk – and even taking away the packaging!

How much space do you need for an office pod?

Sadia
Modern glass meeting room with teal framing four green chairs and a table inside an open office space

Office pods offer a fantastic solution for creating private zones within an open-plan environment, but a key question which often arises is, how much space do you actually need?

The good news is that the beauty of acoustic office pods lies in their versatility. From compact phone booths to spacious meeting rooms, there’s an office pod for every space.

Our experts are here to guide you into choosing exactly the right pod for your space. However, when beginning to look at dimensions of the pods you like, bear in mind it’s a good idea to allow a buffer space of at least 0.5m x 0.5m around the pod for ease of movement and air circulation.

Solo work and phone booths

Small in size but big in popularity, this hugely versatile type of indoor office pod is designed for individual use. These are perfect for taking private calls, joining video conferences, or engaging in focused work.

The Clara Open Fronted Work Booth offers acoustic comfort in a compact design while maintaining a sense of connection to the surrounding space. If seclusion is required, opt for a pod such as the Session Work Booth which combines cutting-edge design with a glass door.

Small meeting & collaboration pods

Need a space for two to talk without disturbing the wider office? A small meeting pod is the ideal choice.

We offer a great range of open work booths that offer a collaborative focus point in the office. Available to seat 2, 4 or 6, the Stream Meeting Pod is a highly popular option. If you’re looking for an enclosed pod, opt for a pod like the Kabin 2 Work Pod, which features a fold down seat for a second occupant. Or for the ultimate in flexibility, choose a work booth for two on easy-to-move castors such as the cool and quirky Cabana Mobile Meeting Pod.

Medium work pods

Larger acoustic office pods to accommodate four serve as fully functional, self-contained meeting rooms.

Designed to seat up to four in style, luxury office pods such as the Berlin Acoustics MEET Pod offer all the privacy, comfort and tech you’d expect to find in the most up-to-date of meeting rooms, yet can be installed by a team of two in just two hours. If you need a more open meeting area, work booths such as the Carriage Meeting Pod are perfect for formal meetings or casual catch-ups.

Large meeting pods

A meeting pod designed to comfortably seat six people can bring exceptional versatility to your office and may not require as much space as you think. These larger acoustic pods act as fully functional, self-contained meeting spaces.

Again available to seat 2, 4, or 6 the Entente Meeting Pod is perfect as a team hub, while remaining open to the wider workspace. When privacy is needed, the Bob Fully Enclosed Meeting Pod, with its light filtering glass door, is ideal. When only a fully enclosed ‘room within a room’ will do, you can opt for the showstopping Bob Room. Both of these can be paired with the open-sided Bob Meeting Pod in varying sizes for a seamless design statement.

Frequently asked questions on finding the right size of office pod

Here are some common queries about integrating office pods into your workspace.

How much space do office pods require?

Plan for the pod’s footprint plus an additional 0.5m of clearance on all sides for door access, maintenance, and to ensure the pod’s ventilation system functions correctly.

What are the dimensions of acoustic office pods?

Check out our website for at-a-glance information on office pod sizes. For precise details on all pod dimensions, the first step is to speak to our expert team who will advise on the best options.

Can office pods fit in small indoor spaces?

Absolutely. One of the main advantages of an indoor office pod is its ability to create functional zones in tight or underused spaces. A solo pod can easily fit into a corner, under a mezzanine, or in a wide hallway, instantly transforming it into a valuable, productive area.

Optimising space: the versatility of seating pods in compact offices

Sadia
Lismark light grey acoustic booth with a dark purple upholstered interior, featuring an integrated screen and a small white work table, designed for focused work in an open office.

Making the most of every square metre is essential for businesses with smaller offices. As teams grow and workplace needs evolve, office seating pods offer a practical, versatile and stylish solution where compact doesn’t have to mean cramped.

Maximising your floorplan with flexible design

One of the biggest advantages of office seating pods is their fantastic flexibility. Unlike permanent meeting rooms, which are rigid and costly to construct, pods can be placed almost anywhere. This adaptability is perfect for smaller offices where layouts may need to change to accommodate new team structures.

Much acoustic office seating, such as mobile meeting booths, are designed for easy relocation. Some are even fitted with castors, allowing you to reconfigure your space in minutes. This means you can create a quiet corner for concentrated work in the morning and transform it into a collaborative hub for a team brainstorm in the afternoon. Available to comfortably seat 2, 4 or 6, the aptly-named ThinkPod Agile Meeting Booth  can be configured with a back wall and roof for added privacy, yet it can be smoothly wheeled through doors on its robust castors.

A pod for every purpose

Here at Lismark we have office seating pods to suit a wide range of needs, tastes and budgets. Whether you need a single-person work booth, a two-person space for one-on-ones, or a six-person meeting pod, there’s an office seating booth for you.

Solo work pods

These compact units provide a private sanctuary for distraction-free individual working within the bustling open-plan office environment. The Solus Work Pod is the perfect example of acoustic office seating for one. Its stylish ergonomic design incorporates a comfortable desk and seating as well as an integrated fan and lighting to provide an optimal environment, even for long periods of work. With the option of adding integrated tech, it’s a sophisticated solution to provide a solo sanctuary in any workspace where space is at a premium.

Office phone booths

Whether you’re trying to concentrate on your own important phone call, or attempting to zone out of someone else’s, telephone conversations can cause issues in smaller offices where everyone is trying to get on with their job in close proximity to each other. While most phone booths are not designed for seated work, the Milli Work Pod is a highly popular choice for those who make more video calls than phone calls, and also want the space-saving option of being able to use a phone pod as a solo work booth. Featuring superior soundproofing as part of its sleek, minimalist design, this seating pod’s built-in castors mean it couldn’t be easier to move around your workspace as and when it’s needed.

Meeting pods

Available to accommodate 2, 4, or 6 people, office meeting pods are ideal for team collaboration and offer the perfect alternative to the traditional meeting room, as well as eliminating the need to leave the office for catch ups where space is tight. They often come with integrated tables, and many come equipped with extras such as power sockets and monitor mounts.

In a small space, it’s worth considering an open-sided meeting pod, which can also function as a more informal acoustic seating pod for the team or a semi-private space to get on with solo work. The clean lines and sound dampening properties of the Polly Meeting Pod means it successfully ticks all these boxes.

If the compact nature of your office means you need a fully private meeting pod, you can opt for one of our fully enclosed meeting booths. At 2010 mm wide and 2050mm high, the Bob Meeting Pod is compact enough to fit into most spaces and is available with a glass door so you can hold confidential conversations right in the middle of your small office.

The perfect seating pod for your workspace

Where space is tight, every piece of furniture needs to look the part as well as providing maximum functionality. As a result, customisation is another key benefit of the seating pods we provide. You can choose from a vast range of fabrics and colours to ensure your seating pods align perfectly with your company’s branding and office décor. And we have options available in a great range of budgets too. Check out our Budget Seating Pods Under £5000, to find out more about high-quality design-led options that will suit smaller budgets as well as smaller spaces.

Transform your compact office today

If you’re looking to optimise your limited space, reduce distractions and improve productivity and wellbeing, office seating pods are an elegant and effective solution. To find out more, please call us on 0116 251 7741 or email sales@lismark.co.uk

Seamlessly integrating meeting pods into your office design

Sadia
Seamlessly integrating meeting pods into your office design

Office meeting pods optimise space, enhance collaboration and provide much-needed privacy in bustling open-plan offices and other workspaces. But how can you effectively integrate these innovative workplace pods into your office design while maximising their benefits?

The good news is there’s a meeting pod for every space. We supply office meeting pods that seat 2, 4 or 6 in comfort, so we have the perfect pod to host one-to-ones and small meetings in comfort and style.

Why add office meeting pods to your workplace?

The main appeal of meeting pods lies in their ability to offer a private space to meet clients or colleagues within a busy open plan office. How much privacy is provided is up to you. We have great options, ranging from open-sided meeting pods or fully enclosed Added Privacy Meeting Pods that can replace the traditional meeting room.

With its acoustic paneling and open entrance, the Bruce Meeting Pod is a great example of a meeting pod that flows effortlessly into the space around it, or for those who prefer curved lines, the Delia Meeting Pod does exactly the same job.

Connected privacy

Meeting pods offer an incredibly useful middle ground between traditional closed-off conference rooms and exposed communal tables set in the midst of open-plan offices. These work pods are designed to provide a private space for focused work, confidential discussions or uninterrupted brainstorming sessions, all while maintaining a sense of connection within the office environment.

Our choice of several fantastic Open Sided Meeting Pods provide an oasis in the middle of the office, while still being very much part of it. Of course, these pods can also be placed against walls to create a three-walled meeting pod.

Encouraging collaboration

Team collaboration is as important as individual focus in almost every working environment. Meeting pods, with their noise-reducing features and comfortable interiors, create the ideal space for everything from small group discussions, to impromptu team meetings, to client presentations – all without disturbing the rest of the office!

If soundproofing and privacy are essential for your workplace pod, you can opt for one of our state of the art premium privacy meeting pods such as the Berlin Acoustics MEET Pod. Its sleek design is matched with optimal sound absorption achieved through its multi-layer walls and thick 8mm glass door.

Making the most of your space

One of the biggest challenges in office design is making the best use of all available space. As our meeting pods come in a wide range of sizes and configurations, from compact 2-seaters to spacious 6-person units, you can optimise every inch of your office in style.

For the ultimate in flexibility, why not opt for an office meeting pod on easy-to-manoeuvre castors such as the Cabana Mobile Meeting Pod? Built to host catch-ups for two, it couldn’t be simpler to wheel to wherever it’s needed in the office.

A smart investment

Meeting pods can offer a highly cost-effective alternative to renovating an office, or even the increased costs involved in moving to larger premises to accommodate a growing team. As they offer a room-within-a-room, they provide the perfect opportunity to make every piece of space available work hard for the team.

Here at Lismark, we have a great range of Budget Meeting Pods Under £5,000, meaning you may be able to create that much-needed meeting space for less than you think.

How to integrate meeting pods into your workspace

The benefits of meeting pods are clear, but it can be harder to envisage exactly how they can make a difference to the productivity and visual appeal of your workplace. That’s where our experts come in.

We can guide you every step of the way, from initial planning and measuring up to installation – and we’ll even take the packaging away!

However, the first step is to think about how meeting pods can best be used to make a difference in your individual space.

1 Identify key areas for installation

Talk to your team to build up an idea of what they need from a meeting pod. And remember, this is a great opportunity to use commonly underused areas such as corners, breakout spaces, or even in generously sized walkways and landings that can be transformed into meeting zones.

2 Choose the right size and style

Meeting pods come in various sizes to cater to specific needs. For instance:

2-person pods like the Zen Meeting Pod work well in small spaces for quick one-on-one meetings.

4-6 person pods such as the Jensen Hut Meeting Pod are ideal for collaborative group settings.

Beyond size, consider the potential for aesthetic appeal. As well as impeccable quality and long-lasting durability, our meeting pods are all modern design classics that will make a style statement in any workplace.

With a great range of finishes and myriad fabric options on offer, you can match your pod to your décor. From understated elegance to bold and modern, there’s an option for every brand identity. And don’t forget many of our meeting pods can be placed together for added impact and productivity.

3 Added extras for smooth, productive meetings

Add-ons and customisation can take meeting pods to the next level. Top features that can be integrated include:

  • Monitor brackets to support presentations or virtual meetings
  • Power sockets and USB ports for technological efficiency
  • Spill-proof fabrics and heavy-duty upholstery for durability

Case study – Hanging acoustic divider panels

Sadia
Hanging acoustic divider panels

When a forward-thinking organisation approached us with a challenge, we knew we could make the difference. Their bustling office environment was thriving, but the noise it generated was creeping into a nearby rest area, disturbing staff who relied on the space for quiet breaks. They needed a solution that would reduce noise without compromising the modern aesthetic of their workspace.

Meeting the brief

Our client’s primary objective was to reduce the day-to-day noise from the office encroaching on the quiet area. However, they also had a clear vision for their workspace. They sought a solution that would blend seamlessly with their existing design, maintaining a sleek and professional appearance while serving its functional purpose.

The acoustic solution

We recommended and installed a series of hanging acoustic divider panels in a sophisticated graphite finish. These panels were chosen for their dual benefits:

Noise reduction: The panels effectively absorb sound, minimising noise transfer and restoring the calm atmosphere needed in the adjacent rest area.

Stylish design: The graphite finish not only aligns with the stylish, modern look of the office but enhances the space by adding an understated elegance. The panels double as a subtle, stylish partition that subtly augments the sense of separation between the workspace and the breakout area.

Instant impact

The transformation was striking. Employees quickly noticed the difference, with the rest area finally restored to the peaceful retreat it was always meant to be. The visual impact was equally impressive, with the panels completing the space rather than intruding on it.

What can we do to restore your peace and quiet?

Are you facing your own challenge with noise in your workspace? Whether you’re looking to boost productivity, create quiet zones or enhance your office aesthetic, we can help. To find out more and arrange a visit, email mark@lismark.co.uk or call for a chat on 0116 251 7741.

Boosting workplace productivity with smart office furniture choices

Sadia

Office furniture plays a key role in your team’s productivity and overall satisfaction at work. Taking time to carefully consider how to make the best use of your space with hardworking and agile furniture can be transformative, both in terms of how it reflects your brand and how it functions for your staff.

First of all, it’s important to assess the user experience your current office furniture offers so you can identify areas for improvement. Talk to your team about their day-to-day experience of working in the office. From there, you can consider whether your plans align with ergonomic requirements, flexibility for hybrid or hotdesking staff and soundproofing needs.

Here at Lismark, the office furniture we supply encompasses a vast range of high-quality, smart office furniture. From ergonomic desks to modular seating, our furniture experts are here to guide you through every step of choosing the modern office furniture that works best for your needs.

Office desks and chairs that work for you

We supply a great range of superior quality office desks with good looks to match, including the showstopping DNA Desk. Available in nine different finishes and a great choice of sizes, this desk features beautifully crafted curved legs in a choice of four finishes, meaning you can choose the perfect palette for your brand.

Our IT350 Ergonomic Chair offers the ultimate in comfort and style with its ergonomic design, lower and upper back support and customisable features such as adjustable arms and headrests.

Sit stand desks to power through your day

Office pods for maximum focus

Whether it’s a noisy phone call or just the sound of a colleague’s keyboard tapping away, modern offices are full of distractions, and when you’re trying to focus on an important task, it’s easy for your flow to be interrupted. Office pods provide a quiet, private area for deep focus or confidential discussions. So, as well as these soundproof spaces providing a place for heads-down work, they are perfect for hosting meetings or brainstorming sessions, as they provide a setting to talk in confidence without disturbing everyone else in the office.

Part of our innovative range of Agile Working Furniture designed for maximum flexibility and employee wellbeing, our ThinkPod Agile Meeting Booth is supplied on castors and can be easily wheeled under doors.

The role of modular office furniture in future-ready office designs

Sadia
Overhead view of a modular white sofa arrangement with green accent cushions wooden side tables and light blue bean bags.

As well as providing adaptable work stations for staff to use, often on a hotdesking basis, the modern workspace needs to offer areas for employees to meet, collaborate, or just take some time out from the desk.

When creating this kind of breakout furniture, modular furniture is a game changer. Clever use of modular seating creates stylish, versatile and space-saving solutions that cater to a business’s unique needs.

Here at Lismark, we can advise you every step of the way on finding the right modular furniture. Whether you want to create modular workstations in the form of small areas of soft seating for colleagues to catch up on reading, or large seating areas for breaks and informal meetings, we’re here to guide you – from initial measuring up to installing your new seating and even taking away the packaging!

What is modular office furniture?

Unlike traditional furniture, flexible modular designs can be easily reconfigured, expanded, or relocated to suit your needs. With nine seating options available, our Mosaic Plus Reception Seating offers countless seating configurations. As the name suggests, it’s perfect for waiting areas, but it also works brilliantly in breakout spaces and collaboration zones.

What are the benefits of modular office furniture?

Flexibility is the clear advantage of modular office furniture, but the benefits don’t stop there.

Maximising your space

In a climate of rising costs and expensive rent, every business needs to make the most of the space available to it. Modular seating such as the Box It Landscape Soft Seating comes in a wide variety of shapes and sizes so that it can be seamlessly run along walls and around corners, with the added benefit of being able to make islands of any size. With upholstered backrests and the option to add upholstered high screens to the top of a unit for added privacy, Box It creates an oasis of luxurious comfort and style within any working environment, including all those previously underused and awkward areas.

Adapting to growth

Is your business growing or are you planning to move premises? Whether you need to reconfigure existing modular furniture or add to an existing set, modular seating gives you the options you need when it’s time for a change. Available in a huge range of fabrics, our chic and contemporary Pontoon Modular Seating range’s interchangeable top units means your combination of chairs, stools, tables and planters can be tailored to your exact needs both today and in the future.

Breakout spaces to inspire

A well-designed breakout area gives your team a space to recharge, brainstorm, and connect. With modular setups, you can create inviting breakout spaces tailored to your team’s needs. Brix Modular Seating is a highly popular option in workplaces thanks to the endless combinations made possible using its straight bench and curved corner units that create a relaxed yet stylish low seating area for colleagues to catch up or settle down in comfort to do some quiet reading.

Making a style statement

As well as being constructed from high quality materials designed to stand the test of time in the demanding working environment, all the modular seating we supply is designed with good looks to match. With its cool concave and convex seating units with high or low backs, the Terry Modular Seating range creates a real wow factor, whether you’re using it to create a large showstopping seating area in a lobby or a small and intimate retreat for your team to connect in a corner of your office.

Modular office furniture that reflects your brand

As well as offering myriad seating combinations, all of the modular seating we supply is available in a vast range of upholstery options. Whether you choose hard-wearing vinyl or one of our equally durable fabrics, we have the perfect match for your existing décor scheme and brand colours.

As well as catering to all tastes, we also have great options across a wide range of budgets. Whether you choose the clean lines of the contemporary  Nexus Modular Seating or opt for the sumptuous comfort of the aptly-named Lush Modular Seating with its deep seats and wide cushions, you can rest assured you are choosing a beautifully designed piece of furniture that’s built to last.

How work pods can revolutionise privacy and productivity in the workplace

Sadia
Lismark compact phone booth with rounded wooden edges, upholstered in light grey fabric, featuring a clear glass door, an internal seat, and a small work shelf.

Open-plan office layouts do a great job of fostering a spirit of teamwork and innovation. However, for every impromptu team brainstorming session, there is a task that requires focus and privacy. Not only that, with hybrid working on the rise, employees need versatile spaces that cater for all. This is where the office work pod comes in. Offering the ultimate solution for striking a balance between openness and productivity, they’re a must-have in any modern workspace.

What is an office work pod?

Workplace pods are self-contained workstations with built-in acoustic properties to minimise noise. Think of them as private sanctuaries in the bustling world of the open-plan office. They’re designed to offer individuals the freedom to focus, take part in video calls or collaborate in private settings, without the day-to-day distractions of the typical office environment.

What are the benefits of work pods in the workplace?

Installing workspace pods has many advantages, including the following:

Privacy without isolation

The beauty of modern pods lies in their ability to create privacy while maintaining connection. Many of the acoustic work pods we supply combine sound-reducing properties with an open front, meaning employees can step into the calm oasis of a pod for a phone call, solo work, or a concentrated task without fully detaching from the environment around them. The 3-side high acoustic surround, comfortable armchair and built-in table of the Brix 61 Solo Work Booth is a great example of this. You can even add a power socket to charge as you work.

Boosting productivity with acoustic design

Background noise is inevitable in any work setting, but when it’s too loud or too constant it can become a productivity killer. Acoustic work pods are specifically designed with soundproof materials to block out external distractions, however, when total seclusion is required, you can opt for a fully enclosed work pod such as the Solus Work Pod. This stunning pod combines state-of-the-art aesthetics with cutting edge acoustics and a glass door to ensure total privacy. Add to that ergonomic design with built-in air circulation and the option to add integrated tech and you have everything you need to get the job done.

Flexibility for hybrid teams

Hybrid working has made the traditional desk setup less relevant. Many employees don’t need or want a permanent desk but still need a professional space when they’re in the office. Work pods are the perfect solution, offering flexible environments for employees to drop in, focus, and go, freeing up the space for a colleague. Available as one, two, or three-person work pods, the stylish and functional Snug Acoustic Work Pod can be placed back to back to create a flexible solution for productive solo work for the whole team.

Making a style statement

When it comes to modern pods, acoustic design and functionality goes hand in hand with eye catching good looks. All of our workspace pods are crafted to look as impressive as they are practical. With sleek designs, customisable colours and modern finishes, they’re a statement feature that elevates the aesthetics of your office.

How to integrate work pods into your office  

What’s your primary pain point? Too much noise? A lack of private spaces? The first step in the process is to speak to your team to understand their day-to-day privacy and productivity challenges. This will help you decide what function your pods need to perform as well as how many you require. As part of our bespoke service, our office furniture experts will visit your premises to advise on placement and measure up. And when the time comes to install your brand-new pods, we’ll take care of that too and even take the packaging away!
