Singapore businesses doubt recent survey findings on employers’ openness to a four-day work week

A RECENT survey in which nearly seven in 10 Singapore employers found a four-day work week “feasible” may not accurately reflect ground sentiment, said business leaders.

The report, released on Tuesday (Sep 24) by recruitment consultancy Robert Walters, surveyed fewer than 100 companies in Singapore. Of these respondents, 69 per cent said a four-day work-week was a “feasible concept”.

This was part of a regional survey of over 5,000 professionals and companies across 11 Asian markets.
