An 8-person cubicle where team members or co-workers sit within proximity enhances productivity and collaboration in the workplace. They make for quick and easy in-person communication much easier and allow for the exchange of ideas without having to move to a meeting room or collaboration area.
When you opt for 8 person cubicles, you can cluster people with some space between the cubicles. This can be in the form of aisles that allow for easier movement, or space on both sides between the cubicles, enabling easier ingress and egress from the workstation.
Kinds of 8 person cubicles
Thanks to modular designs, the 8 person cubicle is available in a variety of formats and form factors. You can choose from
- 4 L-shaped cubicles that house two people at right angles to each other
- Straight and rectangular 8-person cubicle that has space for 4 people on each side, facing one another
- Standard modular office cubicles, each for 2 people, 4 cubicles in all placed according to the space and room design
- Smaller desks with chairs, placed at right angles or parallel to each other
Cubicles are usually free-standing so that people can move around easily and comfortably. They have high or low dividers to afford a degree of privacy to the workers. The height of the dividers or partitions depends on the work that is carried out and how much or how little privacy is required. Low dividers will be low enough for eye contact, whereas high dividers are necessary when greater privacy is needed.
You can also choose 8 person cubicles with accessories to maximize storage and workspace and reduce clutter. These include overhead bins, some shelves or drawers, and plug points. These reduce the time spent searching for items that can be within easy reach instead of going to a storage room or area.
Do keep in mind that if you opt for storage options and a place for accessories, you will probably need greater floor space as well. 8 person cubicles that afford more privacy, with high partitions may also require more floor space.
Check out materials used for 8 person cubicles
Most cubicles come in easy-to-maintain surfaces, often laminated. The plus points of laminated surfaces are that they are easy to keep clean and are often virtually stain-proof. They are also lightweight and installation is quick and simple.
When the frame is steel or aluminum and powder coated, it is fairly long-lasting. You can also choose from a range of colors for the frames and the laminates. While traditional colors like grey, black, and brown are available, you can opt for a pop of color by using brighter colors if your workplace calls for it. Most sellers offer customization options within certain limits.
Many color combinations are available and these can be paired with white tables. Glass partitions also offer privacy along with noise control where required. If you run a call center or telemarketing office, where there is a great deal of noise, you can opt for sound-absorbing materials that will reduce the ambient sounds. All these features are possible even in an open office concept.
Why choose 8 person cubicles
Depending on how many people are employed, even a small office can work with an 8-person cubicle. If you employ a large number of workers, divided into teams, then the 8-person cubicle may be just what you require.
When teamwork is a vital part of the work, it does not make sense if people are sitting separately at their desks. An 8-person cubicle increases the chances of improved collaboration, and greater teamwork and so improves efficiency and enhances profitability. It also maximizes the use of available office space.
