Noise in the Workplace: What Impact Does It Have on Quality of Life at Work?

Noise in the Workplace & Productivity

Whether you’re working from home or in the office, do you have trouble concentrating because of ambient noise? You’re among the 52% of workers bothered by noise on the job (1). Beyond being a mere nuisance, ambient noise can have a real impact on your quality of life at work and your productivity! One in five workers estimates that they lose more than 30 minutes of work time due to noise (2), and on a broader scale across French companies, the evidence is clear: productivity losses linked to noise amount to 18 billion euros per year (3).

A door slamming, the printer and coffee machine running at full blast, your coworkers engaged in lively conversation right next to your desk… the office is a real hub of activity—and sometimes a very lively one!
