Pod
What is an office pod?
An office pod is a small, enclosed and usually soundproofed space for one or two people. Pods are used for phone and video calls, short one-to-one meetings and focused work, giving people privacy in an open office. They are also called phone booths, focus pods or privacy pods.
How pods are used
- Video and phone calls without disturbing others
- Short one-to-one conversations
- Focused work away from open-plan noise
Should pods be bookable?
Single-person pods are often first come, first served. Two-person pods used for meetings are often made bookable, like small meeting rooms, so people can rely on having one for a scheduled call.
