Out of all the amenities we asked about, kitchens
received the highest average score: 5.8. More than
half of all respondents (56%) rated it very important.
Whether a respondent's employer already provided
a kitchen had little impact on how they rated its
importance.
If people are going to work from an employer's office,
it makes sense that such a large percentage of them
would want a designated location to store, prepare,
and eat lunch. Yet 28% of respondents said their
employer doesn't have a kitchen.
Renovating an existing space to accommodate kitchen
appliances certainly isn't easy, but as employers
consider new office buildings, it will be valuable to
recognize the appeal this amenity holds for fully in-
person and hybrid employees alike.
Cafés were the second-most desired amenity, with
an average rating of 5 out of 7. Nearly one third of
respondents (29%) said a café was very important to
them. Since employers have emphasized that time
in the office is a crucial opportunity for collaboration,
networking, and face-to-face interaction, it makes
sense that workers place greater importance on a
space designed for socialization.
