A recent survey conducted by Genesis Property indicates that more than 75% of Romanian employees currently work from the office at least three days per week. The research, conducted in April–May 2025 via the iVox platform, surveyed 1,012 internet users across Romania. The study aimed to assess working preferences and the perceived benefits of schedule flexibility among employees. According to the findings, nearly 60% of respondents report that having flexibility in their work schedule contributes positively to their sense of well-being, offering greater balance and control over their daily lives. The survey highlights that hybrid working models, which alternate between remote and office days, remain a popular option. Employees cited several key advantages of such arrangements, including the ability to manage their own schedule, work from different locations, and allocate more time to family and personal activities. If given the option, approximately 80% of those surveyed stated they would choose either a fully in-office model or a hybrid model that includes at least one to two office days per week. However, around 70% noted challenges in their current work arrangements, primarily citing insufficient resources—such as technology and dedicated workspace—and difficulty in maintaining a clear boundary between work and personal life. Employees who engage in hybrid or remote work reported that returning to the office is often motivated by factors such as better separation between personal and professional responsibilities (41.7%), opportunities for in-person collaboration (38.9%), and access to a work environment more conducive to concentration and productivity (29.9%). Additionally, more than 83% of respondents believe that the office environment plays a significant role in maintaining work-life boundaries. Genesis Property, which is continuing the development of its YUNITY Park project—designed by Liviu Tudor—has invested over €30 million in the first two stages of the campus. The next phase, the Innovation Center, is expected to launch following an additional €20 million investment. The survey sample included over 45% female respondents, with nearly 46% reporting a net monthly income exceeding 5,000 lei. The research provides insights into shifting work dynamics in Romania and the growing importance of flexible work arrangements.
