The majority of Gen Z and Millennial white collar workers want access to a workplace outside the home, according to new research from CBRE.
The company recently conducted a survey that canvassed the views of more than 750 Gen Z and Millennials across the UK on their workstyle preferences.
The overwhelming majority (79%) of respondents said that they like having an office to go to, citing team interaction, location and a dedicated workspace as the top three reasons.
When asked what is the best feature of their working environment, 38% of respondents said flexibility was their number one priority.
Georgina Fraser, head of human capital consulting at CBRE, said: “When overall remuneration can be hard to distinguish between competitors, what can companies offer that gives them the edge in attracting and retaining the best talent? Our findings tell us that offices, and workplaces more broadly, are now a fundamental talent attraction and retention tool and can deliver competitive advantage in the overall employee value proposition.”
