Happier employees are more productive employees. So, as all modern business owners know, it makes sense to invest in the wellbeing of the team. This can be achieved in many ways, but one important but sometimes overlooked way of boosting morale and health in the workplace is with the carefully thought-out use of furniture.

The shift towards open plan offices has brought great collaboration benefits to the workplace but it has also created new challenges. Noise and lack of privacy have become common workplace complaints in open plan offices that don’t offer enough private spaces for the team to retreat to for solo work, phone and video calls or to meet with colleagues.

This is where office pods step in, providing dedicated spaces tailored to your needs to support both individual focus and team collaboration.

How office pods can boost employee wellbeing

Creating a space where employees can thrive isn’t just about comfort – it’s about productivity and overall job satisfaction. Thanks to their versatility, acoustic office pods offer this important space to focus and flourish at work.

Noise reduction and focus

Open plan office pods provide acoustic barriers that reduce or even eliminate ambient noise, allowing employees to concentrate on demanding tasks without interruption. This focused environment leads to better work quality and reduced stress levels. Whether it’s acoustically enhanced modular seating or fully enclosed office pods with roofs and doors, we’ve got a fantastic range to choose from.

When only full privacy and soundproofing will do, luxury office pods such as the Milli Work Pod are ideal. Made from sleek and strong steel and aluminium, this individual acoustic pod offers ventilation, automatic lighting and built-in power sockets, as well as an impressive 39dB acoustic sound rating. Not only that, its built-in castors means it can easily be moved to where you need it, when you need it. installation.

Office pods empower employees to get on with the job, whether that’s deep focus work, creative brainstorming or a video call. As well as a fantastic range of individual office pods, we also supply a great selection of Office Phone Booths.
