How do you quickly lose your productivity, concentration and – in a worst case scenario – even a sales order? Take an open-plan office, no places to retreat and a noise level of 70 decibels - which is equivalent to the continuous sound of an industrial hoover. But don't worry, there's good news: With office phone booths you cannot only discrease distrations effectively, but you can also increase success in customer calls at the same time. Below, we have compiled the five most important benefits of phone booths for the office.
An Ipsos study finds that poor call quality can be detrimental to business success. This includes distracting background noise, having to constantly repeat yourself or asking for the content of the conversation to be repeated. 23% of participants report angry customers due to inadequate call quality, and 19% say they have even lost a pitch or an order as a result.
Phone boxes prevent annoying background noise and make it possible for your counterpart to understand you without any problems. Thanks to sound-absorbing double walls, noise simply stays outside and confidential information inside. This allows team members to go into their sales meetings, pitch presentations or other customer negotiations without stress.
The noise in open-plan offices ensures that employees are distracted most of the time. Spontaneous visits from other colleagues, ringing telephones or the noise of the coffee machine often break employees' concentration and they have a hard time getting back to the task they had worked on before. As a result, up to 1.5 hours are lost every day. Some employees quickly become stressed because of this, motivation suffers – and so does productivity. Studies indicate that this loss of productivity is between 15 and 28 percent. Phone booths offer a place of retreat for concentrated work and ensure that the workflow is not constantly disturbed by distractions.

Happy employees are 31% more productive, 37% more likely to succeed in sales, and 19% more accurate in their work. These results were published in the Harvard Business Review. They clearly show how important employee satisfaction is to business success. Employee satisfaction takes a significant hit when retreats for personal phone calls, meetings, or concentrated brooding

The office design according to Corona looks a little different every day. While one day the space is used for impromptu meetings, another day a workshop is scheduled. The number of employees who are in the office can also vary greatly. Phone boxes are a clever room-within-a-room solution that can be used to create retreats independent of the existing space. This makes them an attractive option, especially for fast-growing startups, for responding flexibly to changing space requirements.
