Compressed workweeks in office‐type environments
Abstract
Offices usually operate five‐days‐a‐week from Monday to Friday, with employees following the standard five‐day workweek. Unlike scheduling employees in seven‐days‐a‐week or round‐the‐clock operations, (e.g. hospitals and utilities), scheduling office employees seldomly presents problems – an office opens from 9 to 5, Monday to Friday, and employees go to the office from 9 to 5, Monday to Friday. While scheduling office employees is not seen as a problem, office operation might be improved using compressed workweeks, which call for fewer workdays per week, but usually a longer workday.
