Open plan offices have become increasingly popular over the last few years with advocates highlighting increased staff interaction, a flatter organisational hierarchy and, of course, they are less expensive to fitout and run. In fact 9 out of 10 offices in Australia are now open plan according to a University of Sydney study.
One of the drawbacks of an open plan office is the lack of privacy. Having a quiet area to hold meetings, make telephone calls or just think is often a problem. Corporate organisational innovators such as Google have addressed this issue with privacy areas of varying shapes, sizes and configurations in their offices around the world.
If your budget is a bit tighter than Google’s you could consider privacy booths as supplied by TKO Office Fitouts and installed in clients’ open plan offices in Perth.
