"Is it OK to wear headphones in the office? Do they help get work done, or is
wearing them considered rude and damaging to the office vibe.
While it might be easy to dismiss our headphone-wearing colleagues as
unfriendly, the increase in usage is symptomatic of another issue entirely.
As staff have returned to the office post-lockdown, they have been confronted
with the thing employees dislike most about open plan offices according to
research: noise.
Modern knowledge work demands the psychological ability to focus and
concentrate for lengthy periods. That is hard to do when colleagues are having
impromptu meetings next to your desk, or discussing their weekends as you
struggle to hit a looming deadline."
