Gen Z, comprising over 20% of the talentforce, is the latest generation cohort introduced into the workforce. The introduction of Gen Z into the workplace has given rise to the need for a more holistic environment to work in. They don’t just want to work but WorkWell. So, investing in an office that promotes creativity and provides a relaxing aura has become important in recruiting fresh talent from the Gen Z pool. But that’s not all, a creative and thoughtful office plan can also benefit a company in other ways.

Selecting the perfect workplace has many advantages for a company. A well selected workspace boosts morale and enhances the company’s brand. An open floor plan helps the team communicate and develop creative ideas, which Gen Z especially strives for. With the post Covid world changing the roles and purposes of the offices, there are some things a company should keep in mind when looking to invest in the right workspace.
Comfort
A workplace that offers multiple amenities that suit employees’ needs should be an important aspect when evaluating options for an office. Providing employees with everything they need to feel comfortable at work has become a necessity with the evolving purpose of the workplace. With amenities like gyms, cafes and retail shops, an office becomes the premier destination to spend most of your day. They also help the employees bond with each other, boosting morale.

The workspace needs to be comfortable for everyone. Its design should be inclusive of all employees, regardless of their age or ability. Companies should opt for offices that support employees with different and special needs. Offices like Max Towers and Max Square ensure that all employees have access to their services and amenities. Because just giving employees a place to work is not enough. They need a place where they can WorkWell.
Employees have to come to work daily. So, an office that is easy to reach is a must for them. With Gen Z now in the mix, the office’s location has taken a higher priority. When looking for the right office, access to paved roads and bike paths and proximity to Metro stations and bus stations should be considered.
Gen Z feels more productive and thus works more efficiently when getting to work and reaching home is easier and quicker.
No connectivity issues
Companies are now digitising every corner of their business to adapt to the future of work. So, access to the internet has become an integral part of functioning for the employees. Apps like Slack, Google Drive and Asana are used in almost all offices to communicate, share files and assign tasks. And with poor internet services, daily operations will become hard to handle. Even network coverage becomes a factor affecting your choice for the perfect office to ensure seamless connectivity over cellular networks for tele-conversations or conversations with employees on the go.
Safety and security
Having an office equipped with CCTV cameras and a robust 24×7 security system will let employees feel safe and secure. Further safety measures like secure touchless access through ID cards and an advanced visitor management system binds the whole network together by leaving no cracks in the system and taking even minute details into consideration.

The location of the workplace affects security too. Shuttle elevators providing separate access to parking and access to buildings after security checks is also a good safety measure. The office should have access to well-lit roads and be close to hospitals, police stations and other social infrastructure so that the employees can travel to and from the office with no worries.
Looks and style
Since Gen Z looks for a unique and creative place to work, investing in an office that incorporates those needs is important. Employees like to work at an office that stands out from the competition. They feel more creative and productive when their workspace has a modern style. If the office is near a naturally forested area and parks or adopts greenery in the office, even better. According to an insight by Haiken, a greener and naturally lit open floor plan is the perfect way to accommodate the new generation. The nature meets urban look is very inviting and boosts productivity.

With more Gen Z employees joining the workplaces after working from home for two years, companies have to adapt to modern needs to stay ahead. Implementing flexible timings and work from home options are now becoming more common. But changing how an office works is an important part of the solution. An innovative open floor workstation is not only a way to welcome Gen Z but also a way to increase efficiency at the workplace. Since Gen Z is very tech-savvy, modifying the workplace to reflect a more futuristic view is also important.
