Commercial Cafe asked Austin, Dallas, Houston and San Antonio workers about the ideal office layout.
AUSTIN, TX—The Lone Star State is home to a large tech workforce with a worker population continuing to increase. What does all this fast-paced change look like for Texas office workers? Are companies upping the ante by offering more perks in order to attract and to keep employees happy?
To get to the bottom of those questions, Commercial Cafe's latest study delves into workplace satisfaction. Commercial Cafe asked workers from Austin, Dallas, Houston and San Antonio about the ideal office layout, what makes them happiest or unhappiest in the workspace, which amenities are most popular, which perks are most often used by companies to recruit new employees and what tradeoffs would office workers agree to in exchange for better amenities. The study also pinpointed age, gender, duration of employment, industry and location.
