In the ‘Noise and Wellbeing at Work’ survey it shows a growing concern for the lack of privacy in the modern-day office. Acoustic conditions in the workplace have been noted as a leading source of dissatisfaction when compared to other elements that contribute to overall comfort such as office layout, furnishing, thermal comfort, air quality, lighting and general cleanliness.
Sound masking is the addition of low-level noise into the environment to cover up unwanted background noise and increase privacy. A lack of sound privacy can result in dissatisfied and unproductive employees in fact, in our Noise and Wellbeing at Work survey it was found that 64% of people have overheard a confidential or sensitive conversation in the workplace that they shouldn’t have.
With the installation of sound masking in your meeting rooms, open plan offices and break out areas, it can help to protect client information, confidential business plans and sensitive conversations.
