Does anyone work from home on Tuesday and Thursday?

Dutch News

Almost half of office workers are stuck in heavy traffic or crowded trains on Tuesdays and Thursdays, with rush hours and public transport busier than before the Covid pandemic, a survey by research bureau Kantar Public has found. Four in 10 respondents in the survey, which was carried out on behalf of sustainable transport lobby group Coalition Anders Reizen said they are not tied to a physical place to do their job. Agreement about, for example, different working hours, days and working from home would help achieve that,” the organisation’s director Hugo Houppermans said. “Our clients often only want work sessions on Tuesdays and Thursdays, not on Fridays,” Boris Jockin of Koos Service Design in Amsterdam told broadcaster NOS.
