Building a Better Business with Nothing but Office Screens

It might be hard to believe for anybody who works in one, but when open plan offices were introduced they were considered the future of office working; better for businesses and better for the people that made them tick. But to many, open plan offices represent hotbeds of noise, distractions and stress.

The idea was a simple one: pull down the walls and bring the team closer together and boost morale. The reality, it could be argued, is very different. In fact, years of research have proven that rather than boost morale, these busy and noisy open plan environments feed stress and lead to worse working relationships.

With the addition of some affordable office dividers, businesses could transform their workspace into a hub of productivity in which employees feel comfortable and driven to get the job done.

Room dividers provide office workers with enough privacy to tune out the office banter and the blather of the sales team. Rather than provide them with a hiding place in which to skive, they’re likely see their productivity increase.

Better yet partitioning isn’t likely to lead to isolation instead they’re likely to encourage free thinking and the share of ideas. While open plan offices were intended to help the flow of new ideas amongst the workforce a steady stream of distractions mean fewer employees are likely to be hit with inspiration while an open plan room full of eavesdroppers make people more reluctant to share their thoughts and feelings.

All it takes is a partitioned area in which to brainstorm and bounce ideas off each other and workers are likely to thrive.

Office screens can be purchased online for little more than £50.00. It’s a small price to pay for something that could boost productivity and put smiles on employee’s faces. It makes great business sense, but for now the debate is likely to continue on.
