"Job security is no longer defined solely by the stability of a role, but by people's ability to remain relevant in a rapidly changing economic and social environment. Economic pressures, the transformation of job roles and advances in artificial intelligence are prompting employees to seek more than continuity: they want genuine opportunities to learn, adapt and progress. The office can become an important part of this process, a space for collaboration, the exchange of ideas, learning and professional development," said Teodor Stoica, HR Manager at Genesis Property.

Economic conditions are bearing down visibly on the workforce. Nearly 24% of employees report salary stagnation or smaller pay rises than in previous years, more than 18% are experiencing heavier workloads, and around 12% have observed cost-optimisation measures within their organisations. More than 40% identify the state of the economy as their main source of concern, around 26% fear restructuring or redundancies, and nearly 11% point to a lack of professional development opportunities.

Adaptability is emerging as the skill employees consider most urgent. More than 19% say they need to prioritise developing adaptability and continuous learning, nearly 14% point to AI skills, and over 12% emphasise communication and collaboration. Preparedness for AI remains uneven: more than 32% have begun building relevant skills, nearly 28% already use AI at work, and around 27% recognise the technology will reshape their roles but are unsure how to prepare. Nearly 35% view AI as both an opportunity and a threat, while 34% see it primarily as an opportunity.
