There have been many changes to working models with more than <\/span>50% of office workers<\/span><\/a> now able to work from home. (With options such as a <\/span>VoIP phone<\/span><\/a> system this has never been easier.)<\/span><\/p>\n

Despite those changes, many people still have to go into the office at least some of the week. If you\u2019ve ever worked in a busy modern office, you know how chaotic and noisy such places can sometimes be, and that there are times when you can barely hear yourself think.<\/span><\/p>\n

If you work in an open-plan modern workspace surrounded by colleagues, what do you do when you need to make an important call or have a crucial team meeting? There will always be times when you\u2014or your team\u2014need a quiet space to work. A huddle room could be the ideal solution. But what is a huddle room and what do you need to set one up in your office?<\/span><\/p>\n

The first thing to say about a huddle room is that it isn\u2019t the same as a traditional conference room. While the latter can be large and accommodate many people, huddle rooms are much smaller, usually designed for between two and six people. A huddle room is a workspace designed for workers who need some quiet time or for small informal or impromptu meetings.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

A huddle room is usually BYOD (bring your own device) but will feature charging points and a good WiFi signal. They will also be equipped with high-quality video conference solutions to enable hybrid meetings and important phone calls to clients or partners. As has long been the case, the foundation and core of a huddle room is its phone system. But for a more immersive and personalized experience, a modern, reenvisioned huddle room demands a broader technological reach: hence complementary video conferencing features.<\/span><\/p>\n

A huddle room is perfect for collaborating with colleagues away from the usual hustle and bustle, something that can lead to a <\/span>17% increase in job satisfaction<\/span><\/a>. And it\u2019s ideal for use as a brainstorming space for small staff or staff\/client groups.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

A huddle room is also perfect for hybrid meetings, to usefully accommodate a combination of on- and off-site staff members. Additionally, it\u2019s key for important audio or video meetings that demand low noise, informal team meetings (for six or less people) and virtual meetings. And it can also be a useful space if you need to work alone because your concentration is being hampered by your normal work environment. <\/span><\/p>\n
