The leadership at Leap, a full-service network of branded retail stores, came to us with a problem: they needed to add more privacy to their open-concept workspaces in New York City and Chicago.
With a hybrid workforce of 60+ employees, 20-40 of whom might be in the office at any given time, Leap’s staff needed more quiet space to take calls and virtual meetings.
Importantly, the company needed to add privacy without adding the red tape and/or pre-planning that comes with conference room reservations.
Prior to purchasing Pillar, Leap previously used another privacy booth brand with less-than-stellar results. In addition to experiencing poor lighting, the booths became “sweatboxes”. Poor airflow was a problem, so employees had to keep doors open, which completely defeated the purpose of a privacy booth. “They were falling apart. You’d be annoyed if you had to use it. And they were kind of ugly.”
Enter: Pillar Booth.
“Seamless…Way easier than setting up desks or benches. Way easier than setting up a TV and videos that never work. It’s nice to have something dependable in the offices that work as intended and is used regularly."
