Hybrid work: a new model

While, in the past, employers would invariably opt for a large office building with the necessary space and extensive facilities, the trend is now more and more towards a hybrid work model which requires less and less office space.

Working from home is here to stay. In the future, however, employees will, of course, have to keep coming to the office for collaborative work, internal communication and important meetings.

As a result of this evolution, many open-plan offices will be converted into meeting and conference rooms that can be used flexibly. 

Acoustic solutions for noisy open-plan offices

Your colleagues’ (telephone) conversations, the shuffling of office chairs or loud typing? Coworking spaces or open offices are notoriously noisy. The poor acoustics can lead to increased stress levels and decreased productivity.

DOX Acoustics has a wide range of acoustic screens, acoustic furniture and modular acoustic systems to provide your open-plan office with the necessary modular solutions.

We handle the problem at each level of activity:

• At department level: We recommend installing acoustic panels on the wall or ceiling to protect the entire business space against disturbing noises and reverberation.
• At service level: Enable your team to continue working or meeting in peace without being disturbed by surrounding colleagues. The best solution to define zones is to divide the space with the help of versatile acoustic furniture. 
• At personal workplace level: Want to create your own quiet workplace? The best way to do this is by installing room dividers and/or desk-mounted acoustic screens. 

Open-plan offices with optimal privacy and respect for safe distancing measures

It goes without saying that you should also take into account the prevailing COVID-19 measures when optimising the acoustics of your open-plan office. 

DOX Acoustics desk panels are an excellent solution in this respect. They are:

• sound absorbing;
• COVID-19 safe;
• easy to move around. 

The colour, material and print of our acoustic desk screens can be personalised to fit in seamlessly with your corporate identity and/or interior design.
