With any luck, if your employer has instituted a Summer Fridays policy, you’ll get to knock off work early or even take the whole day off.
Only 13% of US employees, for instance, said their organizations had Summer Fridays, in a 2023 survey commissioned by consulting and research firm Gartner.
Among US employers, a survey last year from HR consulting firm Mercer found that only 19% said they offered summer working hours, up from 15% in 2021.
Nevertheless, some employees may have even better options today, thanks to the transformation of work culture spurred by the pandemic.
But Caitlin Duffy, senior director of Gartner’s HR practice, said she wouldn’t be surprised if Summer Fridays become less of a featured benefit from employers because flexible work has become so much more prevalent.
