Frequently Asked Questions

1. What are an office partition and office workstation?

   Office partitions are separators or mobile walls used in office workspaces to create private areas for employees. On the other hand, office workstations are a system of office desks, often designed to accommodate more than one employee to promote communication and collaboration while often providing privacy.

2. What are the different types of workstations?

   There are many different types of office workstations, such as linear workstations used in call centres and cluster workstations often found in IT companies.

3. How do I choose an office workstation?

   You should choose an office workstation according to what benefits your employees' productivity. Companies, where collaboration and communication are essential should adopt open workstations with no or minor partitions. On the other hand, companies that do not require employees to collaborate on work should focus on setting up cubicle workstations or dividers around office desks.

4. What are the advantages of partitions, workstations, and cubicles?

   Rather than providing each employee with their own office, partitions, workstations, and cubicles allow you to fully utilise your office space, create structure and flow, build a sense of inclusion, and are a sustainable choice instead of installing permanent walls.

5. What is the difference between a cubicle, office partition, and office workstation?

   Cubicles have a wall or partition in between them to provide maximum privacy and reduce office noise. Cubicles are used where collaboration is not essential. Office partitions are mobile walls or separators rather than temporary walls that can be reorganised to build working spaces, private workspaces, and even separate rooms. Office workstations are a form of office table that can seat multiple people with or without partitions between seats. Workstations encourage collaboration while giving employees a sense of ownership in their work.
