As Gen Z becomes the dominant workforce in 2025, the lines between work, life, and digital presence are blurrier than ever.
Burnout is rising. The traditional 9-to-5 no longer fits. They want flexibility, purpose, and room to breathe, not fluorescent lights and rigid rules.
What they are seeking is a space that respects boundaries, not blurs them. Somewhere, they can enjoy their day-to-day work life. Coworking spaces, especially ones like INFINITY8, offer more than a desk—they deliver a lifestyle.
More Than Just Work
The era of the traditional office is over. Cubicle desks, boxed layouts, and non-transparent rooms are a thing of the past.
Traditional offices are characterised by rigid hierarchies, fixed locations, and inflexible rules — including set office hours — that reflect an outdated way of working.
Today’s young professionals are not just reshaping the workforce—they’re rewriting its rules. According to Deloitte’s 2025 Gen Z and Millennial Survey:
- 89 percent of Gen Zs say a sense of purpose is crucial to job satisfaction.
- Only six percent aim for leadership roles—most prioritise work-life balance, learning, and well-being.
- 74 percent expect AI to reshape work, so they’re doubling down on human-first skills.
For Gen Z, success isn’t defined by high-profile titles or material wealth. They define success as a life filled with purpose, impact, and love.
They want to make a difference, both in their work and personal lives. They want workplaces that value their mental health, give them flexibility, and support their desire for meaningful work. But how can a physical space deliver all that?
The solution? Coworking spaces.
So, Why Coworking?
Because it works like you do: flexible, fast-moving, and focused on you.

These spaces are more than just places to plug in your laptop—they’re environments that amplify your energy and make space for both work and rest.

- You want a well-equipped workspace that is easy to commute to.

4. Burnout Is Real — But Balance Is Possible
Let’s talk about the elephant in the ‘office’: digital burnout. Yes, remote work can blur the lines between work and rest. With non-stop notifications and endless Zoom meetings, working from home is not always the better option.
Coworking spaces offer the boundaries Gen Z needs. It allows you to leave work at work and log off in a physical sense.
Here’s how INFINITY8 makes it easier to stay balanced:

We understand that well-being isn’t just about breaks — it’s about how a space makes you feel throughout the day.

- ergonomic chairs that support good posture
- natural lighting that reduces eye strain
- plants and textures that lower anxiety
- spacious layouts that make you want to move around
When you care for your body and brain, creativity flows.
6. Your Day, Your Way
Imagine this: You grab your oat milk latte from the café downstairs. Plug in at a sunlit booth. Knock out your work to-do list. Take a lunchtime break, window shopping and end the day with friends at the food court two floors down.
That’s what work-life balance actually looks like—and it’s possible with coworking.
INFINITY8 empowers Gen Z to:
- Take real breaks without leaving the building.
- Build wellness rituals into their daily routines.
- Feel energised, not exhausted.

You don’t need another forced team-building Zoom call. You need real people, real convos, and real moments.

These events create meaningful opportunities for connection, and of course, they’re optional (because boundaries matter).
