Dividers between office desks can provide a very efficient way of working and keeping the noise levels at a minimum. They can more easily accommodate a larger number of employees in a smaller office space.  This is a particularly popular method to accommodate the phone staff in call centre situations.

Otherwise referred to as ‘freestanding’ walls, the office desk dividers will give a level of privacy to each worker, which is impossible in an open plan office of freestanding office desks.  If there are a number of workers in a small area then noise will always be a problem unless you can divide the desks with a ‘screen’ or divider.  Distracting phone calls become a thing of the past.

If you do decide to separate the office desks with dividers then you will need to measure the full office space along with each office desk or computer desk which you are aiming to divide up.  It is easier to use office desks that are all the same size for ease.

Before you decide to divide the work area, it is imperative to know exactly what workers are using their space for and what their function is whilst seated at their office desks.
