Employees returning to offices have flocked to phone booth-like privacy pods to make calls or just get a bit of quiet. Now, one maker of such booths is testing sensors that can track workers’ stress levels to help companies detect employee angst.
With clients including Nvidia Corp, Microsoft Corp and Unilever Plc, Finland’s Framery Oy is one of the biggest worldwide sellers of privacy booths, a staple of post-pandemic offices and one of the fastest-growing segments of the office-furniture market.
