The many benefits of the phone box for your company
Modern companies are unanimous: open-space offices ise a collaborative space that brings added value to the professional world and to employees' working environment.
Space savings, team cohesion, development of collective intelligence, a feeling of belonging to a group, optimisation of internal communication - these are all benefits for productivity and the company's image, but they must not overshadow the main drawback of these solutions: noise and lack of privacy.
In fact, although shared workspaces make for more convivial exchanges between colleagues and a collaborative spirit, in such a working environment, a simple phone conversation or a conversation between two team members can quickly become a source of distraction, or even discomfort, for the others.
This is where the phone box represents a truly acoustic and confidential solution that allows all employees to isolate themselves while remaining at the centre of your office space. Make calls in complete confidentiality, focus on a particular issue, take part in a videoconference meeting, enjoy an intimate space for small group discussions, phone box is an essential solution if you want to meet your employees' needs for comfort, soundproofing and privacy.
Much more than just a acoustic pod for offices, phone boxes address many of the problems encountered by employees in the workplace: difficulty concentrating, psychological fatigue, mental overload, lack of privacy, etc.
Who are phone boxes designed for?
Business incubators, start-ups, coworking spaces, administrative centres... many private and public sector organisations have opted for open-plan offices. But while these open-plan offices help to create a real dynamic within the company, encouraging team cohesion, the emergence of collective intelligence and collaborative working, they have certain limitations and constraints for employees.
In your vision of a modern, up-to-the-minute working environment, it's important to think about creating exceptional areas that allow employees to isolate themselves in ways other than locking themselves in a meeting room or being forced to leave the office.
The phone box makes it possible to work in an open space while still being able to enjoy a moment of privacy to concentrate on a task, make a confidential call, share freely on a project between colleagues or simply enjoy a moment of calm, away from the hustle and bustle of the shared workspace.
From the acoustic pod for an individual office to the soundproof meeting room for confidential discussions without disturbing your neighbours, the phone box solutions available generally fit in ideally with all types of professional office as much as they help to improve the quality of life at work.
How much should you invest in a phone box?
