Benefits of an Office Partition

If you have an open plan office then it can help with work atmosphere and creativity as people are allowed to talk, discuss and contribute ideas openly throughout the working day. This is very beneficial for industries where the discussion of ideas and interaction between different departments happens during the day. A good example of this is a web design agency. There may be different departments to the agency, for example the design department responsible for the look and appearance of the website, the development team who do the building and coding of a site and the SEO team who work to get the site ranking within Google. Since all these elements have to come together to form one website, it makes sense for an open office as this allows the teams to talk easily and openly.

Although this open nature is good, there still may be a need for an office partition in certain areas. An example of this could be the manager’s office. They may like to be a part of the team but will also require privacy from time to time. Having a sliding door office partition allows them to be involved in the open space but also close them when meetings or private phone calls need to be made. If this was a glass partition then it really will give a joint feel of being involved in the office space whilst allowing privacy. Partitions could also be used to create a meeting room within an open space office.

This is an example of how an open plan office can still have a team sharing atmosphere with an office partition to create private areas when needed. This is an example of a web design agency benefitting from this kind of office but it would also be applicable to all kinds of businesses and industries.
