Office Culture
So you’ve decided to bring soundproof office booths into your workplace. Great call.
Whether you’re looking to improve focus, give teams more flexibility, or simply create private spaces that actually get used, booths are a smart upgrade.
But here’s the thing—introducing something new to your team (especially something big, stylish, and pod-shaped) works best when done intentionally. People want to understand the why behind the change, how it’ll benefit them, and when they can start using it.
Here’s how to make that rollout smooth, engaging, and actually exciting.
Start With the Why
Before the booths even arrive, set the scene. Share why you’re adding them to the space.
Are you trying to reduce distractions? Create better call spaces? Give people more autonomy over where they work?
Whatever your reason, communicate it clearly. When people understand that the booths are there to help them—not monitor them or take away meeting rooms—they’re way more likely to get on board.
Involve the Team Early
Want your team to embrace the booths? Let them be part of the process.
Share photos or mockups of the models being installed. Ask what kind of features matter most—video lighting, USB charging, the ability to book a booth?
Even if the decisions are already made, simply involving them in the conversation helps build excitement and a sense of ownership.
Show, Don’t Just Tell
Once the booths are in place, don’t just point to them and walk away.
Give a proper introduction. Host a five-minute walkthrough during a team meeting or record a short video showing how to use the booths.
Cover simple things like how to book them (if needed), what they’re ideal for, and yes—how to turn on the fan or lights.
The more accessible you make them, the faster they’ll become part of people’s daily routine.
Encourage Use from Day One
Try not to let the booths sit unused in the first week.
If you have team leads, execs, or managers, encourage them to start using the booths right away. That subtle endorsement signals it’s okay (and encouraged) to use them.
You can also create a few “starter ideas” for how to use the space:
- Book a pod for deep work
- Use one for a 1:1 check-in
- Take your next video call in a booth
- Escape for a mid-day breather
Sometimes people just need permission to try it out.
Keep the Tone Light
New office additions don’t have to be overly serious.
Post something fun on Slack. Give the booths nicknames. Add a sign with a friendly message like “Your focus zone awaits.”
These small moments make the booths feel like a natural part of your team culture rather than something formal or intimidating.
Ask for Feedback
After a few weeks, check in with your team.
Are the booths being used? Are they solving the problems you hoped they would? Is anything missing?
Gathering quick feedback—either through a form, Slack post, or informal check-in—helps you fine-tune how the booths are used and keeps your team engaged in the process.
