Privacy Please: 5 Benefits of a Private Phone Booth

Need more privacy? Discover how amazing having your own phone booth can be.

Why on earth did the phone booth ever go out of style?

It gave us all the privacy we needed for our phone calls. We could actually hear the other person on the line. 

In essence, we were in our own little world every time we made a call. 

But nowadays, you try to talk on the phone in public and everyone around you knows your business.

Never fear — the phone booth is making a major comeback. But instead of street corners, you’ll now find them in the office.

Consider the following five benefits of adding this ancient relic to your workplace:

1. Privacy, Sweet Privacy

Phone booths of yesteryear provided a level of privacy for a phone call that current generations know nothing of. You enter the booth, close the door, and can carry on your conversation with no one else being any the wiser.

However, this also made the phone booth a partner in crime. Yes, that’s how private these conversations were!

As cell phones started to grow in popularity, phone booths and pay phones began to shrink to help combat criminal activity.

But businesses putting them in offices for their employees’ use shouldn’t have to worry too much about that, right?

2. Minimize Workplace Disruptions

You’re not the only person who wants to keep the conversation private. Everyone in your office will be glad for you to take your calls elsewhere.

Truth be told, most people couldn’t care less about your phone conversations. They’re not trying to listen in, but they sometimes can’t help themselves.

Every conversation adds to the noise level in your environment. For those who don’t work well in a noisy environment, this makes it difficult for them to concentrate on work.

The more you can do to reduce the general office chatter, the more everyone will be able to focus and stay productive.

3. Mental Health Breaks

We’re in the era of the open office plan. If you’re feeling miserable because of it, rest assured you’re not alone. 

The open office design did away with the doom and gloom of cubicles. But now it means that you’re working right on top of everyone else, all day long.

Having somewhere quiet and private to take your calls can be the next best thing to a vacation. Everyone needs a chance to step away from the collaborative community and do their own thing for a while, even if’s just to take a phone call.

4. More than a Phone Booth

The name ‘phone booth’ is a bit misleading for this modern rendition. Some products like a Talkbox Booth have expanded this concept to include enough room for two to have private meetings. 

Or, a single box could be enlarged to serve as a micro office, perfect for when you need a brief escape. 

The Phone Booth is Back! 

If you’re wondering if the phone booth is too good to be true, it isn’t. The only question you should be asking yourself is when your workplace will finally get the message.
