Workplace Culture Give me back some privacy please! The open spaces have become very popular in the modern working environment. It encourages agility, communication and collaboration within individuals and requires less space. This is great! But what about privacy? What about focused work? There are many occasions that people struggle to focus and complain about higher than normal levels of noise within the working environment. Pods have become a necessity. We ve seen the Room within a Room structures emerging a few years ago for this particular reason. The evolution of pods through the years have been really impressive and have reached the peak with innovative built in technology, insurmountable quality and advanced acoustics. Lets see what the future holds! Workplace Culture
