Support is growing for an alternative to the 4-day workweek — working 9 days every 2 weeks — a new survey found

Another alternative to traditional five-day weeks, however, is starting to gain support among both employers and employees: working nine days in every 10.

This would see workers clock in nine days with one day off for every two work weeks, effectively working an average of four-and-a-half days per week. Around 28% of employers surveyed have already implemented or are planning to introduce the alternative work week — 32% of which are large companies with over 1,000 employees.

"Although only a small number of organisations are currently offering employees a four-day work week, a nine-day fortnight could be a good alternative which would take less of a structural shift and is already being implemented, or considered, by more than a quarter of employers."
