Romanians want modern work and urban living spaces for a better work-life balance, study says

Modern concepts that combine work with urban life and provide easy access to co-working, co-living, socialising and wellbeing spaces would bring more balance between the professional and personal life for almost 26% of respondents, less time spent in traffic (21%) and more with friends and family (12.6%), according to a survey run by Genesis Property in October, on 1,031 employees from all over the country.

For more than 6 out of 10 respondents, the campus for the lifestyle of the future should have parks and green areas. For 4 out of 10 respondents, the priority is ease of access to restaurants and cafes, and 38% take into account dedicated areas for recreational activities.

More than half of the survey respondents believe that a project like the campus of the future should be carried out equally by both local authorities and private companies.

Over 87% of respondents believe that an office park that provides leisure options could contribute to a better work-life balance. At the same time, more than 8 out of 10 respondents believe that such a concept would significantly contribute to saving time.

The Genesis Property survey on the Campus of the future was carried out, at a national level, in October 2022, through the iVox platform, on a total sample of 1,031 Internet users in Romania. Some 58% of the participants are men, almost 72% are between 20 and 45 years old, and over 42% have a net income higher than 4,000 lei.
