How is Gen Z Transforming the Modern Office Space?

Nigel Miller, MD at Cordless Consultants speaks to InAVate Magazine…

The workplace is undergoing a seismic shift as Gen Z enters the workforce. Unlike previous generations, they’ve grown up expecting flexibility, seamless technology, and environments that prioritise well-being.

In this interview, Nigel discusses key trends shaping office design today:

• Flexible, collaborative spaces: Offices are less about “head-down” work and more about connection and creativity.
• Tech that just works: Systems that are fully integrated for ease of booking spaces and services, controlling the environment, and connecting with teams – onsite and remote.
• Focus on well-being: Places that help people feel good; from quiet zones to fresh air systems and even tech-free spaces.
• Sustainability matters: Companies committing to embracing eco-friendly, carbon-zero practices are top hirers for this socially conscious generation.
• Inclusivity by design: Spaces must cater to a range of generations and neurodiverse needs, creating environments where everyone can thrive.

At the heart of it all? Flexibility—in space, technology, and company culture.
