After the pandemic, many workers were forced to go back to the office. A couple of years later, many people feel like that return has resulted in a drop in productivity…and the office environment is to blame. In a survey, 71% of respondents said distractions such as “noise, lighting, air quality, and outdated tech” were the main culprits. Specific annoyances included loud talking (43%) and loud typing (21%). Suggested remedies for a more efficient workspace were fresh air ventilation systems (32%), more natural light (32%), and soundproof booths (31%).
