In recent years, pods have been embraced in offices across the nation. They provide a quiet space for office workers to conduct important phone calls, focus on their work, or take a quick break.
Research shows 90% of employees working in offices with an open floor plan experience increased stress levels, conflict, blood pressure and turnover rates.
"We are seeing a large trend, a shift to having independent, self-contained enclosures," said Caitlin Turner, a designer at the global design and urban planning firm HoK. She said the growing demand for pods is a direct result of employees expressing their need for privacy. They discovered that face-to-face time decreased by 70%, while the number of email interactions jumped by a range of 22%-50% of all interactions.
