A global survey of millennials by Deloitte in 2021 reports that, in general, they are still, first and foremost, worried about the health of their families and their financial futures. Concerns about jobs and job security caused an a year–on increase in stress for nearly four in 10 millennials (37 percent) and just 32 percent of Gen Zs surveyed – Gen Z being the demographic cohort succeeding millennials and preceding Generation Alpha.
Research from global staffing firm Robert Half revealed that 34 percent of people currently working from home would rather quit their job than come back to the office full-time. Instead, millennials are turning to coworking spaces.
Business title Quartz reports that as of August 2021, the average office occupancy rate across the 10 largest US cities was 34 percent, according to data from Kastle Systems, a property management company that tracks access-card swipes from 2,600 buildings and 41,000 buildings across 47 states. The remote workforce is also expected to grow permanently, which means workers will be looking for more options when they want to escape the home office.
In designing B-Hive, New Delhi-based firm Studio Bipolar space sought to create a space accentuating a lively, spirited, and refreshing atmosphere where co-working is infused with colour and fun.
