"Working conditions have a major impact on the well-being of the employee and, implicitly, on his productivity. Improving wellness standards is a global trend that has become increasingly strong in the local market in recent years. We have been concerned about the quality of the work environment for a long time and fortunately we have noticed that most developers and big companies in Romania have understood the importance of delivering projects that best meet the expectations and needs of the employee. But, to be able to offer the best product, you need to know exactly what the user wants, so you have to know it. This is the most important goal of this study that CBRE has been working for about a year and which has been dedicated to our research team with our most experienced consultants, "said Mihai Păduroiu, Head of Advisory & Transaction Services, Investor Leasing and Office at CBRE Romania.
