5 Reasons You Need an Office Pod

What is an Office Pod

Office pods are enclosed, or part enclosed, temporary structures that are ideal for offices and workspaces. Acoustic office pods come in a variety of shapes, sizes, colours, and designs and offer numerous benefits that ensure a productive and positive working environment.

Benefits of Office Pods

1. Increased Privacy

More privacy is one of the biggest advantages to office pods. Acoustic pods prevent sound from entering or exiting the pod, meaning employees can take private phone calls whenever they need, undisturbed meetings can be held with ease, and confidential discussions can remain private.

2. Better Focus

Along with privacy, acoustic office pods are a great way to ensure employees have a space for more focused work. Modern offices typically feature an open plan design that’s great for collaborative work and communication, however it can become noisy and difficult for solo focus work. With an office pod, there is a space for people to concentrate on their work without disruption, enhancing productivity and lowering stress levels.

3. Reduced Noise Levels

Noise in offices can build quickly and negatively impact employee well-being and performance. From smaller and seemingly insignificant noise such as typing to bigger noise such as meetings and discussions, noise can be detrimental. Acoustic office pods are designed to mitigate sound using sound absorbing materials contributing to better overall room acoustics and lower noise levels.

4. Cost Effective

Building a traditional meeting room into an open plan office is expensive, time consuming, and disruptive to office life. Office pods are quick to put in, cause no disturbance to employees, and are considerably less expensive to install.

5. Flexible and Space Saving

Office pods aren’t permanent structures, and they can be moved to suit the needs of the office and can be moved with the company if you relocate. Along with flexibility, office and meeting pods are considerably smaller than typical traditional meeting rooms, giving you more space on the office floor. Despite being smaller, office pods are designed to feel comfortable and spacious for ultimate comfort even when used for long periods of time.
