SGA released its 2023 Workplace Amenities Report. The report helps developers and employers identify the most desirable amenities for today’s workforce, the firm’s interior design team surveyed hundreds of employees spanning generations, locations and industries to gauge their preferences for workplace amenities across four main categories: health and wellness, productivity and meeting space, daily convenience and transportation.
With hybrid work spurring a nationwide “flight to quality” trend in commercial real estate, creating higher quality spaces and amenities that transform the workplace into a destination have become essential components of attracting employees and tenants back to the office. Overall, the results of the survey demonstrate a reflection of larger societal shifts: a greater focus on personal well-being and safety, interest in sustainable modes of transportation, convenient places to grab food and packages, and spaces that facilitate social interactions. It also reinforces the importance of notable amenities such as staffed security desks and reservable meeting rooms while identifying emerging trends like IT bars, bike parking and gender-neutral restrooms.
