March 10, 2008—Johnson Controls, a global leader that brings ingenuity to the places where people live, work and travel, has launched a research project called OXYGENZ—a global survey of Generation Y (18-25 year-olds) to understand their preferences for their future workplace.
The survey was developed by the company’s Global Workplace Solutions business in partnership with Haworth, a global leader in the design and manufacture of adaptable workspaces.
OXYGENZ will investigate how, where and when young people wish to work, says the company. It is sponsored and supported by leading global corporations including the BBC, BP and Cisco, looking to understand young people’s choices on a global scale.
On the Web site, students and young workers can participate in an ingenious, interactive online survey, building a profile of their ideal workplace which they can share with friends and other survey respondents around the world.
Findings will be published online in the autumn.
Johnson Controls has the largest global real estate and facilities management business and thus is interested in creating smart environments that redefine the relationships between people and their surroundings. Its Global WorkPlace Solutions offering provides a single-source for real estate portfolio management, design and project management, strategic consulting, energy and facilities management services. It currently manages over one billion square feet of corporate real estate for some of the world’s leading companies.
