In Viet Nam, the Generation Z (Gen Z) workforce is growing, especially in sectors like information technology (IT), manufacturing, service, and e-commerce. To meet employee demand, businesses should consider how their offices and corporate culture can play a role in attracting talent, retaining employees, and supporting long-term and sustainable business operations.
Evolving employee demand in the workplace
According to the Viet Nam General Statistics Office (GSO), by 2025, Gen Z will account for nearly one-third of Viet Nam's working-age population. Savills Impacts 2023 highlights that these workers usually prefer offices that are designed for work-life balance, personal interaction, and teamwork with colleagues.
Kirsty Toye, Deputy Director & Senior Strategist at KKS Savills said: “Young workers who are aware of broadening specialised knowledge and experience are those who tend to find opportunities to interact and connect with colleagues in their working environment.”
On average, four to five different generations work within a single office. To cater to changing dynamics while balancing the needs of workers of all ages, companies should review their workspace strategies.
Key characteristics of multi-generational offices
Savills surveyed 943 workers across four generations, including Baby Boomers (those born between 1946 and 1964), Generation X (those born between 1965 and 1980), Millennials (those born between 1981 and- 1996), and Generation Z (those born between 1997 and 2012). The report drew two key conclusions about what employees demand from their working environment.
Workers across generations value individual work but believe it is healthy to spend 30% of each day interacting with colleagues or clients.
Next, offices with integrated amenities are key motivators for all generations. While Baby Boomers and Gen X prioritise convenient transportation and meals, Millennials and Gen Z prefer sports facilities and collaborative spaces.
Hoang Nguyet Minh, Senior Director of Commercial Leasing, Savills Ha Noi said: “Offices are no longer just for work and clocking in at 9 and leaving at 5 after work. Working hours are changing and overtime is increasingly common. This means businesses also need to give their teams time to rest and recharge through diverse amenities.”
“Businesses are starting to incorporate amenities and services like meals, snacks, drinks, gyms, entertainment areas, or even specially-designed spaces offering childcare. These features support increased efficiency, interaction, and employee loyalty. They can also be used for branding and tools to attract new talents,” Minh added.
Viet Nam’s office outlook
To meet and keep up with changing employee demands, many companies are selecting offices with green certifications that cater to health, wellbeing, and environmental protection. These offices usually deliver health and lifestyle amenities such as fitness centres or coffee shops.
Ha Noi currently has four high-end office buildings with green certifications like LEED, one of the most recognised green certifications globally. . Among them, TechnoPark Tower is the only project with a LEED Platinum certificate, the highest classification possible. To achieve this, the property had to meet strict criteria for transportation, entertainment, and health.
TechnoPark Tower provides 110,000 square metres (sq m) of green workspace with floorplates averaging 2,700 sq m.
It delivers human-centric working environments with human health at its core. Three layers of Low-E glass mean the building restricts UV and external air pollution while maintaining consistent internal temperatures. The air purification systems on every floor also protect the office environment from harmful pollutants that affect employees’ health.
Located in the east of Ha Noi, TechnoPark Tower delivers convenience with good transport links and amenities. The Vinbus electric network ensures connection throughout the city and provides access to Vincom Mega Mall and the complex’s artificial beach. Other amenities including parking, EV charging stations or end-of-trip facilities contribute to an all-in-one ecosystem, which can meet the high-level requirements of businesses.
According to Chu Thanh Huong, a representative of Vinhomes Office Leasing, “Ha Noi has welcomed high-quality office buildings that encourage healthy lifestyles. Developments like TechnoPark have received positive feedback from tenants with flexible workspaces, amenities and services that support work-life balance. It delivers an ‘all-in-one’ office model, which helps businesses create sustainable strategies.”
Changing workforce demand and structure means employers need to consider how their real estate and offices contribute to employee wellness, company culture, and business output. All these factors influence long-term business success.
