Recent events have prompted various industries to take a closer look at the right to privacy in the workplace. Human Resources Professionals are passionate proponents of this right because their role involves the discussion of sensitive topics and gives them access to, and responsibility for, employees’ personal information.

Human Resource Professionals also work hard to foster positive relationships, improve employee morale and productivity, and limit turnover. These are factors that companies are increasingly measured by.

Usually working in closed office settings, HR Professionals treat personal information with care. But closed doors and even slab-to-slab walls cannot ensure speech privacy. Poor door seals, gaps between walls and suspended ceilings or between walls and window mullions, breaks in the plenum barriers, and improperly designed or treated HVAC components can all open clear paths for overhearing the otherwise confidential conversations taking place in these offices.

By helping to provide a setting conducive to confidentiality and increased speech privacy, sound masking supports effective care and treatment of personnel by HR Professionals.
