Finding the right office call pod
Collaborative and social space that provides opportunities for creative thinking is crucial for a future ready workspace. But there is widespread agreement that a variety of working environments is best for increased productivity and well-being. For privacy and confidentiality, office call pods are one of the most flexible, cost-effective ways to create separate spaces. They’re ideal for focused work, video conferencing or to take a confidential call.
Why does your office need a meeting pod?
Meeting room and call pods create a micro-environment within a busy workspace. Providing a soundproof area, they aid concentration and reduce distraction. They may suit some team members for occasional use e.g., joining a Zoom call or be used regularly by employees who find a busy office stressful. The option of choosing a private space away from noise and stimulation enhances well-being in the workplace.
Not all focused work is best done at home. Home environments do not always provide the peace and quiet needed. For example, Generation Z employees are less likely to be homeowners and may not have a suitable working area at home.
Cost-saving and flexible, private meeting pods are an ideal alternative to constructing internal walls in an open plan office. They’re often mobile and can be moved to re-configure the office layout. They can be removed and reinstalled if the office relocates. For office fit outs such as CAT A+ they’re a practical and flexible, fully enclosed ‘room within a room’ for private meeting space.
Increasingly popular, there’s now a wide range of options available, catering to every need.
