Acoustic office work pods are becoming a standard solution for agile, flex, and hybrid offices. If you’re new to the concept, here are three aspects to keep an eye on as you poke around the market.
“It is not the strongest of the species that survive, nor the most intelligent, but the ones most responsive to change,” said Charles Darwin. A timely insight being that we’re living in an era of unprecedented, accelerated change. To be successful over the long haul, we must be adaptive.
Pods are mobile office furniture — they help you adapt to the unexpected.
Think of them as a long-term asset that gives you ongoing flexibility. They’re mobile, some modular. Rather than locking you into a fixed layout, pods allow you to tweak the office set up in time, giving you options.
Modular pods like hushMeet.L can be scaled up or down by modules to accommodate between 4-8 employees.
A modular pod like the hushMeet.L conference booth has a particularly long useful life because it can be expanded or sized down, adjusted to meet new needs as quickly as they arise
– says Robert Korpacki, Product Manager, Hushoffice.
Flexibility makes you more future-proof.
To get the most bang for your buck, look for pods that are easy to assemble, easy to move around the office, easy to disassemble, and easy to relocate to new buildings.
The critical mobility feature: either casters or “space beneath for a pallet jacket.”
Office pod manufacturers like us make their pods mobile by one of two means: 1. lockable casters or 2. a removable front panel at the base of the product allowing a pallet jack/truck to fit for relocation.
The hushPhone call pod and hushHybrid video conference pod both have retractable casters for relocation by push.
Office work pods set on casters like hushPhone for calls and hushHybrid for videoconferences can be rolled around the office by two employees. As you’re comparing such movable pods, be sure to zero in on options with leveling feet for necessary stability
– adds Robert Korpacki, Product Manager, Hushoffice.
Pro tip: get pods that are easy to assemble and disassemble, too.
Pods that are a breeze to break down and set back up will take a considerable edge off future office moves. They’ll allow you to set up a completely functional space within half a day, getting back to work straight away.
Portable office work pods are an economical alternative to construction.
They eliminate the need for costly, time-intensive build-outs and renovations. They make quick layout modifications possible. And because they come with you through every move, you’ll never be forced to cut your losses, leaving expensive infrastructure behind.
How long does it take to assemble a Hushoffice (or similar) pod?
With the help of trained installation personnel, Hushoffice pods install within hours.
We offer installation by accredited crews as well as new user training to assist with set-up.
2. Professional acoustics
Office pods simply must be acoustic to bring optimal function to the floorplan. They should be engineered to Class B standard or above per ISO 23351-1:2020. They should be comfortably quiet. And they should trap all sound made inside, reducing the amount of noise on the floor.
For guaranteed speech privacy, pick a pod built to the Class B standard (or above) per ISO 23351.
By and large, Class B pods are more affordable than most Class A pods. They’re typically lighter, too, giving you more relocation ease. And they’re pleasantly quiet, while Class A pods can actually feel weirdly noiseless (if placed on a relatively silent floor). Read more.
The hushWork.sit&stand office work pod gives you cozy quiet.
What is speech privacy anyway?
Speech privacy is just what you’d think: the soundproofing of speech for privacy’s sake. When an acoustic pod or similar fix gives you speech privacy, peers nearby (i.e., outside the pod) can’t understand your conversation.
Meeting pods like hushMeet.S soundproof speech, protecting private matters.
Speech privacy pods are THE spot for classified or sensitive discussions.
When it comes to office pods, adequate ventilation is non-negotiable. The air in a pod should be clean and fresh at all times during use
– lends Robert Korpacki, Product Manager, Hushoffice.
Must-have air quality feature #1: a continual ventilation system
As long as the pod’s ventilation system runs constantly, its interior will be kept crisp with new air from the office space the entire time you’re using the pod.
