No More Cubes - Millennials Want a Healthy, Active Workspace

DALLAS, March 2, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Companies looking to attract or keep millennial employees need to rethink their office layouts. According to a new study conducted by VARIDESK^®, millennials don't want to work from a traditional cubicle; they want an active workspace design that supports movement, collaboration and social interaction.

The study surveyed 1,000 millennials ages 22 – 35 who work in an office environment and from a desk. It focused on gauging millennial opinions of active workspaces versus traditional cubicle farms and how these different work environments affected turnover.

According to the survey:

• 75% of respondents would rather work in an active workspace than a traditional "cube."
• Of the respondents that work from an active workspace, 87% are satisfied with the space their employer provides. Only 57% of respondents without an active workspace are satisfied with their space.
• For those who currently work from an active workspace, 65% said they would look for a new job within 1 year of moving back to a traditional cubicle.
• Of those who still work from a traditional cubicle, 57% said they would be less likely to look for a new job if their employer invested in an active workspace.

"Every CEO I know is focused on recruiting and retaining top talent. The days of forcing people to work from a 6' x 6' cubicle are over and companies need to make their employees' health and happiness top priorities," said Jason McCann, Co-Founder and CEO of VARIDESK. "Providing an active workspace to all employees has an enormous impact on organizational culture, energy and, most importantly, employee health and productivity. It's what the workforce, especially the Millennial Generation, expects and we want to help make that a reality."

"The cornerstone of every active workspace is a height-adjustable desk," McCann added. "That's why we designed the ProDesk® 60 Electric to be affordable and easy to assemble, with the commercial-quality materials our customers have come to expect from VARIDESK. It's the perfect solution for small-to-medium sized businesses that want to transform their office into an active workspace."
