Specifically relating to open plan offices. Indeed, open plan offices have a reputation for being the worst possible environments for worker productivity. Or do they?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What does the research say?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-link-color wp-elements-aaf559e47780deefc6a7d091122699d2\">One <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cambridge.org\/core\/journals\/journal-of-management-and-organization\/article\/abs\/openplan-office-noise-is-stressful-multimodal-stress-detection-in-a-simulated-work-environment\/F3EF8D2DF47767F18CBF5C081D6AB3A0\">recent study<\/a> found a causal link between open plan office noise and both stress (+35%) and negative mood (+25%). While there was no immediate effect on reduced work performance, the authors concluded that those stress levels over the longer term would be detrimental to productivity. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-link-color wp-elements-31cdf5842c729a82a60fdbe4a116e84a\">This conclusion is borne out by years of other research. Several studies<sup data-fn=\"f2175439-d3be-47d8-b5d8-07df09e4e323\" class=\"fn\"><a href=\"#f2175439-d3be-47d8-b5d8-07df09e4e323\" id=\"f2175439-d3be-47d8-b5d8-07df09e4e323-link\">1<\/a><\/sup> outline in detail the inability of workers to concentrate for sustained periods of time greatly stemming from interruptions from other colleagues and speech intelligibility. We covered this in <a href=\"https:\/\/soundmask.com.au\/blog\/distractions-and-productivity\/\">an earlier blog<\/a>. There&#8217;s also a documented negative effect that a lack of visual and acoustic privacy has on overall dissatisfaction, stress levels and anxiety of workers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What can be done?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-link-color wp-elements-e803add31277fdc4681a5e8a51f1e584\">Flexible design is one solution to this kind of dissatisfaction and stress. This is where the open plan office is designed with fluid zones that allow worker movement depending upon the task at hand. However, it is not a panacea. A poor office design, however flexible, can still lead to <a href=\"https:\/\/research.chalmers.se\/en\/publication\/526692\">negative outcomes<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-link-color wp-elements-efeab104353aee2ac9ccc1aa03690261\">Thankfully, there is a solution to much of the stress and loss of productivity. Modern <a href=\"https:\/\/www.routledge.com\/Routledge-Handbook-of-High-Performance-Workplaces\/Candido-Durakovic-Marzban\/p\/book\/9781032358130\">research<\/a> shows that sound masking can improve productivity by reducing the impact of distracting noise and improving speech privacy. It is also a superior option compared with sound absorption.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Conclusion<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-link-color wp-elements-cd1b029acce7817cb1a423b4b035ef8b\">While noise does have a significant impact on productivity in the office, it is not difficult to solve. A combination of working from home, integrating more flexible zones into the workspace, and including sound masking can all improve productivity and ensure that workers are not suffering from <a href=\"https:\/\/soundmask.com.au\/blog\/is-noise-stress-a-worksafe-issue\/\">noise-related stress<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-elements-8eac9d464180cf412dd3cf8b0e5d380e wp-block-footnotes has-small-font-size\"><li id=\"f2175439-d3be-47d8-b5d8-07df09e4e323\">Hodzic, S., Kubicek, B., Uhlig, L., &amp; Korunka, C.
