Stat of the Week | 2.68 Days Per Week In Office
The average Canadian company requires corporate employees to be in the office 2.68 days per week in the office. That’s a little more than 50% of your time spent in the office, with the remainder of your time spent working remotely.
3 days / week in the office is by far the most common requirement; 46% of Canadian firms on Flex Index require 3 days / week. It’s pretty rare to have to spend only 1 or 4 days per week in the office in Canada; 2% of firms require 1 day / week, and 4% require 4 days / week.
