Office workers in Singapore seek stronger community and amenities: report

Respondents said they most valued varied F&B options, collaborative spaces, gyms, and convenience services.

Office workers in Singapore increasingly expect office buildings to offer stronger community-building, better communications, and more lifestyle amenities, according to a survey by workplace experience platform EXPIScore.

The survey found that 87% of respondents said communications and community-building within their office building are important to their workplace experience.

Regular e-newsletters, food-and-beverage perks, user surveys, and community events were cited as the most valued initiatives.

Amenities are now seen as a baseline expectation. 95% of office workers said they expect on-site food-and-beverage, retail, and wellness options, whilst 61% said they would like a lobby café or restaurant to create activity beyond business hours.

Younger workers aged 21–34 showed the strongest preferences, with 88% valuing community-building and 97% expecting on-site amenities.

Respondents said they most valued varied F&B options, collaborative spaces, gyms, and convenience services, alongside programmes such as networking events and fitness classes.

EXPIScore said the survey was conducted in the first half of 2025 with more than 1,000 office workers in Singapore.

It added that whilst landlords cited space and management constraints, many are exploring creative solutions, including partnerships with co-working operators and adjustments to the F&B mix, against a broader push to revitalise office areas under URA incentive schemes extended to 2030.
