3 Benefits of Privacy Panels During COVID 19

COVID-19 has made it necessary for businesses to rethink their workplace design. It has become especially important for workplace settings where employees are typically seated near one another. Many companies that once adopted for an open floor plan to encourage collaboration are now facing increased risks of virus transmission, which is a serious concern during this pandemic. The good news is that there is a solution. Privacy Panels, also called sneeze guards, barrier screens and partitions, offer an easy way to update workstations with a protective barrier. Here are some benefits that these barrier screens can offer your office.

The Advantages of Using Office Privacy Panels

Social Distancing

It is common for germs and sickness to spread among workers within a matter of days in traditional office spaces. To reduce the risk of COVID-19 from spreading, it is important to prioritize social distancing as much as possible.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommends altering the workspaces to maintain social distancing. This would include keeping a minimum of six feet between employees by configuring partitions as a barrier shield. Temporary partitions, such as privacy panels and clear plastic sneeze guards, help people stay physically isolated to their individual workstations in an otherwise crowded office.

More Privacy

Partitions can also boost employee privacy by creating walls around desks that segregate work areas. Even if the panels are transparent, they offer enough separation to minimize distractions from other areas and give employees a sense of personal space. This can also make them feel much more comfortable and confident in their well-being, allowing them to focus better on their job.

Space-Saving

In comparison to conventional cubicles that are bulky and consume quite a bit of valuable workspace, privacy panels are lightweight and can be easily folded and configured to take up less square footage. This makes it simple to relocate them from one area to another or arrange them around to accommodate different sized furniture. By maximizing the use of space, the barrier screens can promote greater productivity and efficiency.
