The UK is undergoing a revolution in workspace design. Today’s workforce is an agile one, where collaboration, creativity and efficiency are understood and valued. It no longer matters how long you spend at your desk. What really matters is that you are getting results, pushing boundaries and becoming ever more productive.
With the agile workforce comes a more flexible and open plan office design. For many offices, this also brings the challenges of distraction and noise management. Thankfully, there are some great designers out there that have created products to assist with sound management in the modern office.
So we’ve come up with our top 4 acoustic solutions – meaning that you can successfully manage the noise levels in your workspace without compromising on style.
