Open Concept Offices Are "Damaging To The Workers’ Attention Spans, Productivity, Creative Thinking, And Satisfaction"

in Today I Learned4 years ago

I just learned this but, having worked in open concept office spaces for years, I always knew it.

In 2011, the organizational psychologist Matthew Davis reviewed more than a hundred studies about office environments. He found that, though open offices often fostered a symbolic sense of organizational mission, making employees feel like part of a more laid-back, innovative enterprise, they were damaging to the workers’ attention spans, productivity, creative thinking, and satisfaction.
