Solving the Privacy Problem with 3F Screens
Open office environments were designed to foster collaboration, transparency, and flexibility. But for many employees, they’ve become a source of stress, distraction, and disengagement. The culprit? A lack of privacy.
The Stats Tell the Story
- 52% of employees say privacy is their #1 need at work.
- 70% report reduced face-to-face interactions due to feeling exposed.
- Research from Harvard Business Review and Steelcase Workspace Futures confirms that noise and visibility issues in open offices lead to:
- Increased stress
- Lower engagement
- Decreased focus and productivity
When employees feel like they’re constantly “on display,” spontaneous collaboration suffers—and so does their well-being.
