📖 A review published in Industrial Health found that workers in small open-plan offices took significantly more sick days than those in private or enclosed offices.
Employees in open-concept offices take 62% more sick days on average than those with personal offices. 📉
Why? According to the Study, the risks are built into the design:
• Increased exposure to germs — one person’s cough becomes everyone’s problem 🤒
• More noise, more interruptions — reducing focus and increasing cognitive fatigue 🔊
• Lack of privacy — employees feel constantly “on” with nowhere to decompress 🧠
• Elevated stress levels — linked to higher cortisol and emotional exhaustion ⚠️
⸻
The impact?
• Higher rates of absenteeism
• Lower productivity and morale
• Greater employee turnover — especially among high-performers
🤔 What are your thoughts on Open Concept offices?

So much of a city’s identity is left in the hands of its people.
As locals, our attitudes have the power to shape our city’s reputation. elsermoira said it best: saying “Ottawa is boring” is a self-fulfilling prophecy. Because if the people who live here can’t get excited about the city, how can we expect anyone else to?
I get it, we’re Canadian. Self-deprecating to a fault. But it’s important to remember that our attitudes towards our cities inform the culture there.
Ottawa is already a fun city. And I’m confident that attitudes are starting to shift in our favour. Every year the “Ottawa is boring” crowd gets quieter and quieter.
Or maybe the rest of us are finally loud enough to drown them out.

Home first to the people of the Algonquin Anishinabe Nation, Ottawa has been shaped by the history of Canada. Situated at the intersection of three rivers and two cities, we bring together the past and the future, city and nature, English, French, and Indigenous communities. We are the confluence of peoples and cultures that shaped Canada and, as its capital, we connect our citizens with the rest of the country and the world.
