Your acoustic environment impacts your business, as has already been mentioned. Noise and conversational distractions lower productivity in open workplaces.

Imagine listening to employees whispering or talking in a very quiet room. It can be both annoying and frustrating because you could hardly get things done when you are distracted.

This constant distraction affects your level of performance; in fact, constant noise can result to what is referred to as "disengaged employees."

What Happens When Your Employees Become "Disengaged"?

Disengaged employees most likely:
-are 20% less productive
-have 28% more rates of absenteeism
- have 25-45% more chance to seek employment elsewhere

And fast turn-over is costly!

The bad news: conversational distraction is a hidden cost; nobody takes notice easily.
