Which is better for productivity — benching or cubicles?

Research is mixed, but the consensus is that it depends heavily on the type of work. Benching improves productivity for collaborative, fast-moving teams that benefit from easy communication. Cubicles (with higher panels) improve productivity for focused, individual tasks that require concentration. Many organizations get the best results by mixing: benching for collaborative pods and enclosed cubicles or focus rooms for heads-down work. There's no one-size-fits-all answer.
