Quiet by Design: Building Healthy, Focus-Ready Workspaces


Supplier webinar banner featuring a modern acoustic workspace pod with the title “Quiet by Design: Building Healthy, Focus-Ready Workspaces” and subtitle “And Sourcing Them Through Indigenous Procurement,” hosted by Elder Eagle.

Elder Eagle Inc., an Indigenous Supplier Partner on OECM’s Indigenous Marketplace, is hosting an informative webinar exploring how public sector organizations can create quieter, more private and focus-ready workspaces while advancing Indigenous procurement objectives.

Open-plan offices, school boards, campuses, libraries, healthcare settings and other public workspaces are facing growing pressure from hybrid work, return-to-office mandates and rising real-estate costs. At the same time, noise and lack of privacy can affect focus, wellbeing, confidentiality and the overall employee experience.

This session will explore how modular acoustic pods can provide a faster, relocatable alternative to traditional construction, helping organizations create functional private spaces while maintaining flexibility and maximizing existing space.

By the end of the session, attendees will have a better understanding of how thoughtfully designed acoustic spaces can support healthier, more productive public work environments, as well as how modular workspace solutions can provide a flexible alternative to traditional construction.
