Small improvements in daily life at the office have a huge impact.
A 2020 study by Colenberg et al. found that the social and physical work environments are intertwined. Here are 5 ways Pods increase social wellbeing at work:

    1. Improved Social Integration

    2. More Quality Connections

    3. An Increased Sense of Belonging

    4. Access to Non-Isolated Private Spaces

    5. Improved Image of Organization

1 | Improved Social Integration

Pods are soundproof spaces where you won’t be disturbed – or disturb others.
The modern office plays a larger role in social interaction amongst colleagues than ever before. Communal and social engagement can be challenging in workstations or open-office spaces where there is a fear of disrupting others.

The quality sound engineering in Framery Pods reduces the transmission of sound from one space to another through effective sound insulation. Having access to soundproof spaces reduces the fear of disruption, and encourages social integration in the workplace.

2 | More Quality Connections

Pods can increase the number of High Quality Connections (HQCs) between colleagues.
Having the team in the same space increases opportunities to connect with each other. Short interactions between two people can spark genuine interest and create an uplifting sensation (Stephens, Heaphy, & Dutton, 2012).

What happens in between official meetings matters.

Pods provide a space at the workplace for personal conversations, chit-chat, spontaneous encounters and socializing at the office – without worrying about disturbing others while they work.

3 | An Increased Sense of Belonging

Pods can be used to create a shared sense of identity.
Communities often form amongst those who share a common sense of identity. Team members who share a workspace at the office can experience an enhanced sense of belonging.

Placing larger office Pods near workstations increases possibilities of interdepartmental collaboration. This allows colleagues to form an organizational identity with those they may not work with on a regular basis.

4 | Access to Non-Isolated Private Spaces

Pods provide privacy while maintaining visual connection to the team.
Privacy and confidentiality is a key element for increasing psychological safety at the workplace. Private space at the office is crucial for focus work, sensitive meetings, or individual respite when needed.

Well-designed office Pods feature soundproof glass walls that help to maintain a visual and physical sense of openness in the office, while providing privacy and confidentiality for users. This helps users maintain a sense of connection to the larger office community, without sacrificing their right to privacy.

5 | Improved Image of Ogranization

Pods have become required tools for a successful workday.
More and more workers expect offices to provide tools that improve their work-life satisfaction. A 2022 survey of over 4000 white-collar workers shows that employees are eager for office perks that enhance their work-life satisfaction.

57% of workers agree that access to privacy
is the best office perk.

Modern workers recognize that soundproof Pods have become a required tool for a successful workday. And they want to work in offices that provide just that.
