How to Improve Employee Wellbeing Using Acoustic Furniture
Employee wellbeing is more than just a nice-to-have — it’s essential. From reducing stress to improving focus, the environment people work in plays a huge role in how they feel and perform. One of the most overlooked — yet powerful — ways to enhance wellbeing is through better control of sound.
At AgileAcoustics, we specialise in designing and manufacturing acoustic furniture that not only reduces noise but actively supports focus, privacy, and inclusion. Here’s how our acoustic solutions can boost employee wellbeing across your workspace.
1. Reduce Noise Stress in Open-Plan Offices
Open-plan layouts may encourage collaboration, but they also bring acoustic challenges: phone calls, background chatter, and echoing spaces can all increase cognitive load and stress levels.
Solution: AgileCLOUDS and AgileBAFFLES
Our acoustic ceiling and wall panels help absorb unwanted noise, bringing down overall sound levels and creating calmer, more productive environments. Less background noise = less stress = better wellbeing.
2. Create Quiet Zones for Focus Work
Everyone needs a space to concentrate — especially in hybrid and hot-desking environments. Constant interruptions can leave employees feeling frustrated and unproductive.
Solution: AgilePOD and AgileTOUCHDOWN Booths
These fully enclosed or semi-private acoustic pods offer refuge from the busy office. Whether it’s a quiet space for deep work or a booth for a confidential call, AgilePODs give your team the space they need to thrive — without building permanent walls.
3. Support Neurodiverse and Inclusive Workspaces
Wellbeing means making sure everyone can access the workplace in a way that works for them — including neurodivergent individuals or those with sensory sensitivities.
Solution: hilo.work
Our height-adjustable acoustic screen system, hilo.work, lets users control the height and acoustic separation around their desk — adapting the environment to suit their task or personal preference.
4. Improve Privacy Without Permanence
Feeling overheard or overlooked can affect psychological safety at work. People want to know they can speak freely — or retreat when needed.
Solution: Modulise Acoustic Screens
Modulise is our modular screen system that lets you create private spaces without fixed construction. Move it. Reconfigure it. Zone off desks or meeting areas. With visual and acoustic separation, Modulise gives people the privacy they need, when they need it.
5. Encourage Autonomy and Control
Giving employees control over their workspace — lighting, sound, layout — has been shown to improve mood and engagement.
Solution: Adjustable & Customisable Products
From fully upholstered pods in calming colours to movable partitions that let teams reshape their space, Agile’s products are designed with flexibility and empowerment in mind. When people feel in control of their environment, they feel better in it.
Final Thoughts: Wellbeing Is Built Into Every Product We Make
Employee wellbeing isn’t just about perks and policies — it’s about the physical environment too. By investing in acoustic furniture that supports focus, inclusion, privacy, and calm, you’re building a workplace where people want to be.
At AgileAcoustics, we believe wellbeing should be baked into the design of your space — not an afterthought. That’s why every product we make is developed with acoustic performance, accessibility, and adaptability at its core.
