I’m particularly worried about the gender segmentation. It’s 2023 after all.
You mean - you are worried because ;
1. gender segmentation - you don't want gender segmentation because it's 2023 after all?
2. OR you are worried because it's 2023 after all and people are identifying themselves beyond the older construct of male & female?
3. OR you are worried because, the HQ or management might choose to put 2 people of varying/different genders in the same room?
4. OR you are worried because, people of varying/different genders might choose to stay in the same room?
Reason I ask, IME it is better to leave people to choose what they like to do. I mean at the end, if those that choose to stay in the same room are happy, comfortable and understanding of what they are choosing to do.
For me personally, I'd choose to stay by myself and would not like to share a room. For instance, I'm now away on work travel and we all got our individual rooms. I checked in last night and I was allocated a 2 bed room apartment for myself, when all my colleagues, including my directors were given studio style accommodation.
From a general perspective - I'd suggest running a poll within the office for folks to vote anonymously, of course, on what they think about sharing rooms with a roommate of their choosing. If the response leans on the "happy to do it", then let the folks choose their roommate. If the response is more "sorry, what!?! nah, can't do sharing, absolutely nah mate!" then let the higher ups know that *collectively* the team prefers to have their own individual quarters and are not interested in sharing. Taking a collective response to the higher ups will carry more weight than individual opinions etc
