> I am not sure why employees would message and email more if they can just turn their chair around to chat about something they are working on.

I have observed two main reasons for this.

1. More people now have headphones on to keep them focused. So people send IM's so as not to distract them.

2. It is easy to disturb others when having face to face conversations in the open area.
