Does My Office Need to Improve Sound Quality...?

office-1

An office has one goal and one goal only, create more business and attain the highest productivity possible.  While this may seem like a straightforward idea, achieving success can be complicated and elusive.  The ability to communicate is fundamental in the business world.

So what happens when poor quality sound affects the day to day operations?  Salespeople cannot hear their customers on the phone over their colleague’s conversations; private conversations become public knowledge and staff have difficulty concentrating on their work because of constant distractions around them.

Noise and the Bottom Line

Employee productivity is lessened by noise distractions, and this affects your bottom line. In many cases improving the office acoustics pays for itself by the increase in your company's productivity.

As open concept offices with open floor plans and partial cubicles become even more popular with our customers the need to reduce the noise created by the communal workforce continues to grow.

While open concept floor plans may encourage communication between employees, they cause significant office acoustic problems. And these problems impact your bottom line.

 

What Office Acoustics Can Do for You

By installing office isolation and absorption, you will:

  • Decrease distractions, which increases concentration and productivity
  • Make conversations sound clear, resulting in better communication
  • Provide a healthier working environment so your company employs happy employees
  • Keep critical areas private, ensuring your business' confidentiality

Acoustic Standards

  • A quiet room is defined as maximum 40 dBA.
  • Offices usually require STC 50-65 for sensitive areas.
