The Future of Workplace Amenities Is Knowledge

To compete for top talent, employers have traditionally offered workplace amenities such as corporate gyms, gaming lounges, nap rooms, and other in-office perks. But today, after months of working from home, our expectations of the workplace and what it means “to work” and “be in a place” are facing an unprecedented shift. As we navigate this shift, workplace experience is taking center stage — driving whole narratives on what “experience” should look like for each employee in a more hybrid work model, one that merges the best of “work” and “home” and looks to extend beyond physical space to support employees more holistically.

As more businesses embrace flexible work, things like employee choice and well-being are taking precedent over the physical amenity spaces that companies once offered. Instead of valuing things, employees are more likely to value great workplace experiences. Things like equity, mentorship, and learning are moving up the list of employee priorities now that our work and home lives have become seamlessly and intentionally interconnected.

As the lines between our work and home lives become increasingly blurred, companies must harness the capability of new digital tools and create the potential for growth, holistic well-being, and self-actualization as the primary amenities they can offer their employees.In this new landscape, one of the most valuable amenities is knowledge.
