In short

A global Savills survey says Gen Z wants to work from the office 3.4 days a week, while Millennials want 3.2 to 3.3 days. It also says 46% of workers have commutes of at least 41 minutes.

Younger workers want better Wi-Fi, public transport links and wellness facilities near offices. The report does not say which countries or cities were surveyed.

What the reporting says

A global Savills survey found younger workers want reliable Wi-Fi, public transport links and wellness facilities near offices, while 46% reported commutes of at least 41 minutes. The publisher summary says Gen Z seeks 3.4 office days on average and Millennials 3.2 to 3.3, showing a preference for some in-office work rather than full-time remote setups. The immediate implication is for office demand and workplace planning, though the report does not name specific markets.

Why it matters

Savills’ global survey points to a clear preference for hybrid working among younger employees, with Gen Z asking for 3.4 office days and Millennials for 3.2 to 3.3. The same summary says 46% face commutes of at least 41 minutes and value Wi-Fi, transport links and wellness facilities. That matters for landlords, employers and office planners, but the reporting does not identify the surveyed geographies.
