"The Resurgence of Cubicles: Maximizing Efficiency in Modern Offices"
Originally Published 2 years ago — by The New York Times
Cubicles, once vilified as symbols of a dehumanized work force, are making a comeback as employees return to the office. The demand for quiet spaces and privacy has increased due to the disruptions and lack of focus experienced during remote work. Global demand for cubicles and partitions is expected to grow to $8.3 billion over the next five years. The new iterations of cubicles are ergonomic, flexible, and can accommodate multiple electronic devices. Employers are now offering a variety of work spaces, including shared offices, conference rooms, and libraries, alongside cubicles. Some employees are personalizing their cubicles and posting photos on social media, incorporating home décor into their work spaces.
