Working in an overcrowded cubicle office space
Dool | Dec 7 2006
Hello all, I work within a large multinational institution. Several of our divisions have now all moved into one large open office space in a series of cubicles. My question is: Can anyone offer any tips to encourage staff to keep their noise levels down and appreciate people around them. Everyone will be in this area by Monday and I am pre-empting a chaotic mess, particularly since we have people from more than a dozen cultures packed in together. Just wondering if any one has any best practices for dealing with this? I've got some ideas but wondered if there were any others before I recommend them to the incoming swarm?? Cheers, Dool 9 Comments

Quiet music (not like elevator music, more like yoga music), soft, ambient lighting. Incense. The more relaxed people feel, the more quiet they'll be. Lush plants. ... Okay, I vote for the noise-canceling headphones. » POSTED IN:
