The latest Hungarian and regional research results of CBRE

Talking to colleagues, sharing lunch and coffee, a fixed workstation and a strong divide between work and private life - these are what employees miss the most, as CBRE, the world's largest commercial real estate and investment company, revealed. A research conducted in Hungary as well. The responses of the more than 1,200 office workers surveyed in the CEE and SEE regions outline, among other things, how office life should be shaped as the virus subsides.

 

Respondents

In April 2020, during the most severe period of curfew restrictions, at the regional level, 1,210 employees were asked by one of the largest experts in office life, CBRE, about how they value the challenging home office genre. Overall, half of the respondents to the Hungarian questionnaire work for a multinational company with more than 100 employees, 77% which are middle-level managers or experienced employees, who mostly worked from home occasionally before the virus.

 

What is missing the most?

The results of the research show that the lack of personal connections is the most common answer, which includes joint lunches, coffee breaks and corridor conversations. At the same time, the challenges of separating work and private life and the lack of fixed workstations are just as prevalent in the results.

In addition to all this, the staff of the most modern offices lacked the extra services they are used to and want to get back.

What office life will be like again

After the virus situation has subsided the process of working will not return to normal, which is why the need for office remodelling will increase in the coming period, taking into account current trends. It is true that working in an office has become more attractive, as 38% of those surveyed would renegotiate the terms of working from home with their employer, and 37% would continue to work from home at least once a week. However, 17% will not want to work from home in the future at all, and only 7% would like to work more than 3 days a week from home.

While employee behavior will change in the future, more and more companies will introduce new rules. The virus situation has also taught office users many prevention methods that may be part of the normal course of businessin the future, such as contactless entry and exit, larger spaces between individual workstations, or the role of disinfectant on frequently used office equipment and surfaces.
