WORQ-Life Balance

  • What do Gen Zs really want? A question more companies are asking, as they are set to make up 27% of the global workforce by 2030.
  • Here’s how 500-backed coworking space WORQ is responding, according to Co-founder & CEO Stephanie Ping:
    • Work-life balance starts with location. WORQ spaces are built along Klang Valley train lines, making it easier to integrate work into daily life — not the other way around.
    • Flexible work schedules have seen a 78% jump in job satisfaction. With demand for hybrid work rising, WORQ offers adaptable, tech-enabled spaces that support both collaboration and quiet focus — from private spaces to open lounges.
    • Community is the real perk — Gen Zs crave connection. WORQ’s monthly gatherings, NetWORQ parties, and EQ leadership series help members build networks that go beyond office walls.
    • Wellness is a workspace essential. From ergonomic setups by partners like Sealy and TTRacing to calming, people-first design, WORQ prioritizes comfort alongside productivity.
  • The team aims to set a new benchmark for corporate flexibility and employee satisfaction. Stephanie shares, “It is a blueprint for inclusive, accessible, high-performance work environments that sit where people already live, reducing commute times, bridging urban gaps, and reimagining how and where work happens.”
