Sounds in the workplace may seem harmless, but they have a significant impact on employee productivity and focus. Open office spaces, while enhancing collaboration, often make concentration difficult as noise from conversations and activities spreads uncontrollably. According to a study by the University of California, over 50% of employees believe poor acoustics affect their productivity.
Acoustic comfort plays a significant role in employee health and well-being. It belongs to one of the seven wellness categories called “concepts” (air, water, nutrition, light, comfort, physical, and cognitive states) that determine people’s health levels within a building environment, as defined by WELL certification standards.
The modern work environment’s creative and collaborative nature includes office spaces designed with flexible workspaces and comfortable collaboration areas. They also incorporate advanced technological applications and are distinguished by their biophilic design principles. While these spaces are visually appealing, ensuring the necessary acoustic comfort is a challenge.
Sound influences our mood, well-being, and productivity. Proper acoustics, combined with other natural elements, plays a crucial role in employee well-being. To create a comfortable and quiet space, integrating appropriate sound-absorbing products is essential.
Modern acoustic solutions, through a wide range of products, improve noise control in any space. Ceiling sound-absorbing products (panels, grids, curtains, and lighting fixtures) absorb sound and reduce disturbances. Wall sound-absorbing products absorb sound and balance reverberation. FELT and PET FELT coverings are highly sustainable options that also enhance the space’s aesthetic appeal.
Sound-absorbing dividers and sound-absorbing desk dividers absorb sound and clearly define work zones, providing acoustic comfort and privacy. Finally, Acoustic Booths are an ideal choice for meetings and phone calls, ensuring privacy and creating a quiet environment in noisy spaces.
Acoustics dramatically impact the quality of life in the workplace. At Asset, we take care in selecting the right solutions for your space to create a welcoming, functional, and efficient workspace.
