Probably up to 50% on good days, Tuesday to Thursday. Monday might be more like 20%. Friday might only be 10% in terms of the number of people really coming into work, into their office," said John Challenger, CEO of the outplacement firm Challenger, Gray and Christmas.
"Employers who insist on that often lose those employees because there are others who will pick them up on just what they want especially if they're a talented, highly skilled worker that the company needs," Challenger said."I do think that's one of the changes that's permanent in the way we work. Many of us work, especially if we can, with your phone and your computer, you know you don't necessarily need to be in the office. We've equipped our homes.
"Studies have been done across the globe, most recently in the U.K. where different firms experimented with a shorter work week. And at the end of the pilot studies, folks were very happy with it and decided to stick with it. And there are companies that do work on a more flexible, adjusted schedule, less than a five day week," Bruno said.
