Desk Dividers

Desk Dividers

Desk dividers are typically partitions placed on allotted work stations – Office desks and tables. Since cubicles or private office rooms can't accommodate the entire workforce, desk dividers stand out as an impeccable solution. 

Office screens & dividers allow employees to maintain their work station according to their preference, maintain distance from people, and avoid unnecessary chats and activities among colleagues. Furthermore, it enables people to stay safe as it also works as a protective barrier between employees sitting together or in front of one another. 

Since desk dividers are not high and only cover a foot or two above the desk, they don't halt team communication and collaboration. However, they effectively hinder all unwanted things – from dirt to annoying colleagues' gossip and unnecessary activity.  

Moreover, desk dividers are often referred to with different names, such as:

• Desk partitions 
• Desk panels 
• Office screens
• Desk shields
• Desk separators
• desk mounted privacy panel

Benefits of Desk Dividers

Desk partitions are crucial for office chairs and seating because people need privacy to focus, just as they need chairs to sit on while they work. There are several types of desk partitions, and they offer significant benefits to improve the office environment.

Enables Social Distancing: Desk-mounted screens create a physical barrier between employees in compact spaces, which restrains the contamination of germs. Another benefit of desk dividers is that you can avoid annoying colleagues.
