In this Nespresso Professional report conducted in partnership with ACA Research, shows touchless technology, dedicated collaboration spaces and a significant focus on mental health and wellbeing as the drivers shaping the workplace of the future.
Not all employees are as keen as the JP Morgan boss to just return to the office, with report data revealing “43% of Australian workers are planning to look for a new job in the next 12 months – a figure that rises to 51% for Gen Y.”
This data reinforces the need for employers to find new ways of establishing welcoming and innovative office environments to improve employee well-being and workplace culture - especially when they don’t earn the hundreds of millions of dollars that JP Morgan bosses are likely earning, or have quite the same health insurance plans - especially in the US.
Thus it is no surprise to see the data showing this “also has implications for attracting new talent as younger generations increasingly seek a sense of purpose embedded within their corporate culture – 45% of Gen Y said they wouldn’t work for a company that didn’t provide sustainable products and initiatives.”
Interestingly, despite their differences, we’re told that “Gen Y, Gen X and Boomers surveyed unanimously believed a stronger focus on employee wellbeing and mental health was increasingly necessary (98%), and that rewarding breaks throughout the day provided a positive contribution to their overall health and happiness.”
