Office pods have many names. “Isolation booths” and “privacy cabins” evoke a certain image: an employee isolating for hours. But pods aren’t about pure isolation — rather, isolation when you need it. And the autonomy they promote actually makes the office more social in several concrete ways.

Meeting pods contain noise — so inside, teams can get rowdy. Better collaboration results.
What is collaboration really? It’s the creativity of multiple people at play. It’s a wild thing. A force to be reckoned with. A wave to be surfed, not contained. Contain it, and you limit its power.
Unfortunately, the open floor can stifle creativity.
Timid employees might feel awkward sharing ideas out in public beside listening peers. Sensory-sensitive employees might be too distracted by chit-chat and visitors to concentrate deeply enough for creativity to percolate.
Self-consciousness is a creativity killer, too.
The lightbulb moment is exciting! Followed often by a nearly manic upchuck of bright ideas. You don’t want to be too shy to share or so worried about bothering coworkers that you rein in enthusiasm when inspiration strikes.

Isolation when you need to isolate. Socialization when you need to socialize.
Pods aren’t about isolating employees from one another. They’re about giving people more control over how they work. Some need to hole up in a work pod for half an hour to think through solutions to their prospect’s hang-ups. Others need to get with their team because they come up with stronger solutions collaboratively. We all work differently. Pods cater to these differences by giving employees options
Though Hushoffice pods are enclosed and private, they maintain a healthy feeling of team. Their two glass panels to the right and left engender a felt sense of connection to colleagues outside the pod while you’re inside. You’re temporarily separate, but never feel disconnected.

Office pods – FAQs
What are pods in the workplace?
Pods are like prefab, portable work and meeting rooms. They’re designed for maximum flexibility — most are relocatable by push or pallet jack, making quick office layout adjustments doable. They’re long-term assets to teams that need to maintain office functionality in the face of change. Say, teams that need the dependable call space of hushPhone or the dependable meeting space of hushMeet day in, day out.
Somewhat counterintuitively, one way to make your open floor more social is to invest in private office pods. Meeting pods like hushMeet bolster collaboration by containing noise, allowing teams to get rowdy when they get together and enjoy more dynamic collaboration. Small pods like hushMeet.S can promote more genuine work relationships by giving peers the private space needed for important conversations. Pods and booths can also function as social alcoves — as acoustic spaces to hang out without disrupting others. By making the office more functional with a few essential pods, you lure employees back to the workplace. As a result, more people are together more often, socializing on the regular.
