Is office noise costing your company money?

By Loftwall February 14, 2019

Sound Creates Distractions. Distractions Kill Productivity.

The ability to focus is key to the effectiveness of employees. Unfortunately, the modern workspace does a poor job of facilitating a distraction free environment. According to the 2013 U.S. Workplace Survey by Gensler, 53% of employees are disturbed by others while trying to focus and 69% of employees are dissatisfied with their workstation’s noise levels.

So what’s the big deal?

Distractions derail productivity. University of California researchers found it took an average of 23 minutes and 15 seconds to regain concentration after being distracted and IPSOS/Steelcase researchers found on average 86 minutes of our work day is lost to such distractions. This is an astounding 18% of an 8 hour workday.Distracted employees are not productive, are not happy, and are not engaged.

This leaves us with a simple question: How do you design a workspace with minimum distractions? Read on to see a few of the solutions Loftwall has to offer or click below to check out our collection acoustic solutions.
