The open-plan office: The embodiment of modern workplace environments
Large open spaces instead of closed-off areas.
The open-place office has become commonplace in the modern office environment. Similarly, flexible working is another trend that we all (must) accept. No assigned workspaces, but all seated together in an open area. That poses some unique challenges. Where can you go when you have to focus on writing a report? What if you have to make a call and do not want to disrupt your colleagues? These are just a few examples of situations in which an open-plan office can be an obstacle rather than a pleasant working environment. Research in Europe Our workspaces are in a constant state of flux. According to a study conducted by Plantronics 1 among European businesses, only about half of the respondents say they come into the office five days a week. In Germany, 51.4 % of employees work in the office five days a week. In France, that figure is 51.3% and in the United Kingdom, it is just 47.7%. Modern technologies give today’s employees the freedom to move around in a more flexible manner and take more independent decisions regarding their workspace, both within and outside the office. Open-plan office environments that stimulate collaboration between colleagues are becoming the new norm, while fewer and fewer employees still have a permanent workspace that is all their own.
“ Not all modern office environments are equipped to accommo date the needs of digital workers, for whom concentration and flexibility are key concerns. This can negatively affect their productivity and health. Most modern offices are still designed for two main activities: sitting behind your computer in an open-plan office or sitting in a meeting room. A better solution would be to create different types of workspaces that suit your employees’ needs.” (John van Hooft, CEO BakkerElkhuizen).

Reduced productivity is the most common effect of noise nuisance The shift towards more modern, flexible environments presents professionals with new challenges. One of them is acoustics and how to deal with ambient noise. The aforementioned study also revealed that a noisy work environment has a negative impact on employees and the quality of their work. I n Germany, it is 96.5%, in France 93.5% and in the United Kingdom 89.9%. Research 4 in the Netherlands shows that almost two thirds indicate that they make fewer mistakes in a quieter environment. Office workers in France, Germany, Great-Britain and the Netherlands say that the most common effect of a noisy work environment is having trouble concentrating, which leads a reduced productivity. They claim they could do their work far more effectively in a less noisy setting. I n Germany, this problem affects 65.1% of all employees, in France 65.5% and in the United Kingdom 54.1%. Getting away from the hustle and bustle At the same time, the study points out how difficult it can be to keep distractions due to ambient noise in the workplace under control. The respondents claim that loud colleagues are their main source of noise nuisance, followed by (telephone) conversations and noise produced by the office’s technology. In most cases, there is little an individual can do about any of this. On average, 60% of the respondents in all regions wear a headset to combat the negative effects of background noise with music and become more productive. German businesses cite data entry (39.8 %) and creative work (36.7%) as the main activities where employees use music to counter noise nuisance, while people in France and the United Kingdom prefer to write emails (37.6 and 40%). Traditional open-plan offices often do not offer any variation or choice, nor are they customised for specific tasks or practices. As a result, 70% of all employees find themselves working in the same place all day long. The effect of this lack of choice is that only 33% of the respondents say they feel more energised at the end of the day.

Close-up: United Kingdom 2 67% of all British employees feel drained by their office environment at the end of each working day. Innovators only spend 3.5 days a week in the office, which emphasises the need for more flexibility in office design and remote working. In its 2016 Workplace Survey, Gensler revealed that poorly designed openplan office environments stifle innovation in businesses throughout the United Kingdom. More than eight million employees in the country work in open-plan offices, while many of these environments are not designed to stimulate people’s creativity and innovation. The study indicates that the average modern workspace is mostly suited for people in management positions. Our solutions “ There is incontrovertible evidence that the open-plan office has a negative impact on people’s concentration, creativity and – paradoxically – communication with their colleagues. It seemed like a cheap solution, but the costs you save on office space are lost many times over as a result of your employees’ reduced performance. “ Fortunately, more and more businesses are catching on. They offer employees different zones within the office, including quiet areas for concentrated work and other areas where people can talk to each other and work together,” says neuropsychologist Mark Tigchelaar.3 As mentioned above, only having an open-plan office as a workspace is detrimental to employees’ productivity. It is essential to offer good alternative solutions where employees can get some peace and quiet, brainstorm together or make a phone call. Taking into account the various activities that are conducted in an office environment, we have developed a number of solutions:
4
MindPod The MindPod is a concentration space where people can get away from the hustle and bustle of their office and concentrate on their work. The MindPod features acoustic panels and plenty of glass and it is available in a range of designs. In other words, it makes for an ideal concentration space inside a busy open-plan office environment.
“ Give yourself a quiet place to focus on your work.” ScrumRoom Sometimes, working quietly is not all we want; we also need a space where a team can go to brainstorm or have a scrum session. Once again, an open-plan office is a poor setting for that. We have therefore developed a ScrumRoom. This space is ideal for Scrum Events. The ScrumRoom is a mobile and modular workspace concept that facilitates dynamic meetings and scrum sessions. The occupants’ visual and auditory privacy is protected by acoustic wall panels. The five Scrum Events • Sprint Planning; • Daily Scrum • Sprint Review • Sprint Retrospective • The Sprint D aily Scrum: You would prefer to hold the Daily Scrum on the work floor: get together briefly and hold a short meeting in your physical environment. There are two additional points of attention. First of all, the size of the scrum teams changes all the time in many organi sations. The composition of the teams changes or they require a different structure. Secondly, as is so common in office environments, the right balance has to be found between working in an independent, focussed manner on the one hand and working and conferring together as a group on the other hand. If multiple scrum teams work side by side in an open-plan office, that requires a stronger focus on their visual and auditory privacy. In those situations, visual peace and quiet and the right acoustics are even more important.

BellBooth The BellBooth is the perfect solution for those times when you want to make a call in a modern open-plan office environment. This acoustic telephone booth can be closed off entirely and offers a functional solution for making undisturbed calls in an open office space. Recommendations • Invest in your workspace and tailor the space to accommodate the primary functions of your business in order to make open-plan work environments more effective; • Diversify by offering a range of group workspaces within the office; • Listen to the wishes and needs of your employees.

MindPod The mobile concentration workplace
The Mindpod is a quiet workplace that suits every organization. Its smart and modern design matches any dynamic office environment. Use of a lot of glass, acoustic panels, and no doors creates a quiet, yet open space. With respect to the office space, it is advised to apply a minimal ventilation of 31 m3/hour per person doing light physical work. In our MindPod, we reach a ventilation that is double this advised amount (60 m3/hour per person). We can experience noise pollution in different ways. A noise volume that is just (too) loud can already be a considerable nuisance. Especially when the noise is persistent for a long time. Your capacity to concentrate can also get disturbed when you can follow the conversations around you. Our MindPod contains acoustic panels. These sound absorbing panels can minimise the effects of resonance (reverberation of the sound) and, therefore, limit the noise nuisance.
Concentration workplace: mobile & modular At times, every knowledge worker needs a quiet and calm environment to be able to focus. Not all offices and workplace concepts are suitable for this. Distractions and noise are lurking. With MindPod, BakkerElkhuizen has created a mobile solution that provides peace and quiet in the workplace. The MindPod is the unique solution for easily setting up a mobile concentration workplace.

ScrumRoom The ScrumRoom: to hold creative meeting sessions
The ScrumRoom is an acoustic workplace solution that is ideal for 7 colleagues to hold creative meeting sessions in. This way, your employees can come up with and discuss the latest product developments, newest marketing expressions and innovative strategies.
For offices in which light physical exertion takes place, the guideline is to ventilate the air at a minimum rate of 31m3/hour per person. Our Scrumroom achieves double this recommended rate (60m3/hour per person). There are different ways to experience noise pollution. A (too) high volume alone can already be a nuisance especially if the sound continues for a while. Your ability to concentrate can also be disrupted by audible conversations in your environment. Our Scrumroom is equipped with acoustic panels. These soundabsorbing panels reduce the effects of reverberation (sound reflection), thereby reducing noise pollution.
The ScrumRoom: to hold creative meeting sessions The Scrum method - many organizations can no longer imagine their dynamic working method without it. The ideal place for the daily stand-up meeting is in the workplace: briefly coming together and discussing something in your physical environment. The Scrumroom makes it possible to attach all kinds of things to the wall or to use a writing board to record everything relating to a project. And that turns out to be effective. This way, the questions, symptoms and solutions are visually represented in a comprehensible way, enabling you to see mutual connections.

Tilde Air Premium Active Noise Cancelling headset
The Tilde Air Premium is a headset intended for workers in open workspaces and offices. This allows you to adapt ambient sounds in an adaptable manner and to communicate sound-free and / or to work concentrated.
Headphones with active noise canceling are headphones that reduce unwanted ambient noise. This differs from passive headphones, which, when they reduce ambient noise at all, use techniques such as sound isolation. To cancel the lower frequencies of noise, noise-canceling headphones use active noise canceling. They include a microphone that measures the ambient noise, generates a waveform that is exactly the negative of the ambient noise and mixes it with any audio signal the listener desires. Noise Canceling Headphones specify the amount of noise they can cancel in terms of decibels.
Active noise-cancelling for open workspaces Perfect examples of places where Active Noise Canceling (ANC) headphones can be used are open workspaces. Productivity increases by staying focused and not distracted by colleagues Would you like to be able to fully concentrate on a quiet place?
