A Range of Privacy Opportunities for Different Tasks

Contemporary offices are designed with varied privacy solutions that everyone can access, giving staff control over the stimulation around them suited to the demands of what they are doing on a given day.

This approach provides a sense of empowerment for staff, who have the option to tailor their work environment – booking and scheduling systems help provide a method for managing a flexible environment for equal access.

Low Privacy (Open Plan Office, Collaboration Areas)

Appropriate when work requires less focus and less concentration (listening to calls, sending emails, receiving information)

Screens, workstation panels define individual territory and reduce background distractions

Moderate Privacy (Focus Pods, Booths)

When staff want to stay accessible to their teams, but must take on heads - down work with higher concentration

Semi- enclosed spaces include booths, pods, and phone booth or focus rooms

Enhanced Privacy (Private Offices, Focus Rooms)

Practical for confidential work and deep concentration

Provides greater control over workplace distractions

Spaces like offices provide the greatest acoustic and visual privacy
