Selecting the right combination of office days for your team is important to ensure your fixed hybrid working week is sustainable. This guide is for those businesses looking for between 2 and 3 days in the office each week. if that isn’t you, feel free to get in touch via info@space32.com to find out more.

TW&TS don't share

A lot has been made of the acronym that stands for Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays in the office. We are not a fan at Space32 as we aren't convinced it's the best 3 day combination - but if you like it for your business, we are sorry to say it's unlikely we will find a business to share your office on Mondays and Fridays...

The ideal 3-day and 2-day combinations

The more of these combinations you are open to, the quicker you will be able to find a match. Businesses with 3 days a week should always have at least one Monday or Friday, if not both. It is also worth considering having back-to-back days – this can work well for team members and it also reduces the switch-overs between occupiers.

Our recommended 3:2 combinations are shown in the table below:

50:50 Splits

As we gather more data on ideal working preferences, it is possible that 50:50 splits will become the most popular solution on our platform. A 50:50 split sees both occupiers sharing the first 4 days of the week, leaving Fridays to be rotated or divided up across the calendar year.

Our recommended 50:50 combinations are shown in the table below:
