5 Reasons You Should Invest in Privacy Panels

Your workspace is where you will spend the majority of your career, and its ability to inspire motivation and creativity is crucial to your success. So it stands to reason that your office should possess the perfect elements that encourage and aid your unique work ethic while still allowing you to interact with your co-workers.

This balance between collaboration and individualism is delicate to maintain. For many, focusing can be difficult with the multitude of distractions surrounding them in an office, impeding their ability to produce the greatest quality work possible. However, complete privacy is not possible, as you must be able to pool your collective productivity with your fellow employees to benefit the entire company.

So how does one reconcile these issues?

The answer is privacy panels. Privacy panels are usually made of clear glass or thin material, offering a superficial wall between desks that allows you to work in relative seclusion while still not preventing communication between you and your coworkers. Below are five of the main benefits of these panels, and why you should invest in them.

1. They block visual distractions.

People are visual creatures, and wherever our eyes are drawn, our mind usually follows. This is a detrimental trait when working in an office, as they are constantly full of activity. Whether it is co-workers wandering to and from the fax machine, arranging their desks, conducting phone calls, or a multitude of other things, an office never rests. For you, this can pose a problem as the constant movement is a distraction. Even with intense concentration, the movement in your peripheral vision keeps from you fully focusing and building up the necessary productive momentum.

With a privacy panel, this superficial wall will create a barrier between you and the rest of your office, subconsciously separating you from the activity. Although the visual block may only be a thin piece of fogged glass, it will block the immediate movement, as well as making the rest of the office a second priority in your mind. However, you can still stand to look over the barrier, communicating with those around you.

2.They give a sense of privacy.

Sharing space with several other people can become unnerving. For some, the feeling of being watched or having others look over their shoulder can be a constant distraction, even if they have nothing to hide. Whether you are truly under inspection or not, the feeling may linger in your mind and draw your attention away from your projects.

A privacy panel, no matter how superficial a barrier, gives the sense of seclusion that eliminates this ever-present thought. Additionally, the impression of privacy is given to your co-workers as well as you. Without a panel, your workspace seems open and inviting, encouraging others to speak with you during work when you desire seclusion. With a panel, however, your workspace seems reserved and personal, discouraging others from entering uninvited. This allows you to focus on your own work without several interruptions and without the sense of being watched. However, your workspace is still easily accessible and allows your co-workers to visit you without trouble.

3. They block distracting noise.

Along with the constant visual activity, an office is a noisy place. This noise can range from co-workers talking beside the water cooler, phones ringing and co-workers speaking to clients, noisy machinery such as a fax machine, or perhaps a waiting room nearby with customers chatting. All of this is normal and to be expected of an office, but is incredibly distracting, especially if your work requires intense care to detail or if you experience trouble focusing already. With a privacy panel, although too thin to literally block out the noise, the barrier will create a subconscious separation from the rest of the room, allowing your mind to block out the noise in a way you cannot do when open to the entire room.

4. They help prevent sickness.

During the flu season, an office can be a hotspot for sickness which spreads rapidly between employees. Workers touch the same surfaces, use the same facilities, breathe the same air, and communicate in close proximity, making it ideal for spreading germs. With a privacy panel, you are creating a real obstacle between yourself and your co-workers, blocking airborne sicknesses to a noticeable extent. With this, the odds of catching a sickness are greatly reduced, while still allowing you the necessary connection between workers.

5. They give you a sense of ownership

A workplace should inspire creativity and the motivation to work towards your greatest potential. A privacy panel is low in cost and easy to assemble, creating a secluded and intimate workspace that cultivates all those positive emotions. With this addition, you are adding your own personal touch to your office space, creating a sense of customization and ownership. This will make you feel more comfortable and authoritative, encouraging a sense of prospect and ability. With this newly endowed sense of control, you will have the enthusiasm to take on your work.

Conclusion:

An office is a place to create and develop, no matter what your chosen field. If you wish to work to your maximum potential, producing the service necessary to rocket you forward in success, you must feel comfortable in your workspace. With the help of a privacy panel, you can cultivate that ideal workspace in a simple but efficient way.
