Workplace Conditions

It's crucial to minimize energy use in offices. Lights that automatically turn off or on and other energy-saving measures are valuable.

“The best offices are where you can have privacy when needed, but where people can interact - creating opportunities for ‘collisions’.

“I value privacy and don’t like open cubicle spaces. I prefer having my own enclosed office space.”

I look for natural light and a private workspace. I also seek out areas where people gather and collaborate.

Technology

“Incorporating virtual scribes and voice-activated transcription systems would improve productivity and staff satisfaction significantly.”

I appreciate having user- friendly technology and conference spaces with the right equipment, along with the right software tools.

Providing laptops, monitors and reliable Wi- Fi. Subscription services like MS Outlook and Teams are key.

Sustainability is important. Efficient use of electricity and sustainable production are big pluses.

Amenities

Ideally include a gym or discounted gym memberships. Coffee machines and mental well-being programs.

“Having a team space where you can celebrate or gather is great for and improving workplace satisfaction.”

A kitchen isn’t essential but is helpful. Parking is also important.

I find sustainability interesting but not crucial.
