Yes, it's a popular office trend at the moment, but the "open office plan," is not always a good way to go. Pop culture would have you believe that cubicles are a villainous addition to any office, when in fact, some employees still prefer a bit of privacy and solitude to complete their work.

Moreover, a large number of sales companies and tech startups, who constantly need to stay in touch with clients and prospects via phone calls, also still prefer to use cubicles as it can become pretty loud in the office without divided and private workstations. In fact, even if employees are not constantly on calls, they will benefit from a quiet workspace in a number of ways.
Not to mention that the success of the original cubicle idea was due to the fact that it provided the most economical way to have a private workspace without creating entirely separate offices. Privacy, most importantly, continues to be the key selling point for cubicles today.

The Benefits of Using Cubicles

They offer benefits like:

• A quieter workspace
• Wall space for employees to post their pictures, notes and reminders
• Space for shelves to hold displays or supplies
• Drawers and extra space on the table for personalization and storage
• Considerably fewer distractions
• Significantly improved productivity due to enhanced concentration

The best part is that you can actually create a sense of belonging for your employees and make them feel important by providing them with their own cubicle. They can put up their pictures, notes, reminders, and use their creativity to personalize their space. This allows them to take ownership of their space, making the trek to work seem far less daunting. 
If you think cubicles are a thing of the past, think again. You don’t have to go with the tall, boring ones with poor lighting if you are planning to purchase cubicles. The latest cubicles feature shorter panels that let your employees coordinate when working together, even if they can’t always see each other.
On the other hand, cubicles also provide an easy way to group employees. This could be to identify their departments, or simply to work together on a project when necessary. If you are planning to purchase cubicles, give us a call today or check out our workstation collection.
