Get Your Office Sound Masked to Improve Employee Productivity

According to the case study of Sound Agency, the concentration ability of employees improved by 46% and the accuracy of short-term memory raised by 10 percent, when the sound masking technology was implied in the office of those employees.
Have you ever thought what effect does sound pollution has on the working efficiency of person? You may be worried about the degrading efficiency of your employee and even after taking all the remedial steps it not improved to an expected level. This is because you and your employee both are ignoring the noise pollution factor.
Research shows that the distraction rate of an employee gets high, when they are constantly exposed to the conversation around them. Due to constant distraction, they are unable to put maximum effort while working. Increased noise level increases the stress hormone level in a person. Noise is also related to lower willingness to engage with others.
The solution to this problem is sound masking. In this, a natural or artificial sound (white noise and pick noise) is added in office environment to hide the disturbing and unwanted noise by auditory masking.
Sound masking has many benefits, of which some are:
    Decrease in the rate of distractions.
    Consistent higher privacy to employees
    Less hormonal disorders
    Quieter and less intrusive solution
    Easy to add paging and music to the sound masking system
    Cost effective way to provide privacy

Some companies that provide network-cabling services offer sound masking services too. In Calgary, sound masking services are offered to overcome the issues concerning the noise pollution problem.
