The Benefit of Quiet Zones in the Office - Spectrum Workplace

A private place – For those who need it the most:
Open-plan workplaces have become a staple in modern office design. It has been shown to boost productivity and workplace morale. However, we need to be considerate for those who have different working styles and personalities.
Larger companies cater for an extremely diverse group of people. When dealing with personality types the majority of people will fall into two main social categories: Extroverts and Introverts.
Although open plan offices can be collaborative and pleasant environments, they don’t always meet individual’s needs. People with Introverted tendencies may need to take some time out for themselves to work alone, as that’s where they feel they can become the most productive. People with extroverted traits may thrive more in open plan offices, so it’s understanding when to utilise the extra space for those who need it.
‘Distractions have become the norm’:
Udemy’s survey in 2018 suggested that nearly 3 out of 4 workers admitted they felt distracted while working. The biggest complaints for this came from participants from Millennials and Gen Z age demographic, with 74% reporting that they felt distracted at work.
With this in mind, it’s more important now than ever to ensure that workers have an area they can go to focus and increase productivity.
