Executives think Monday and Tuesday are employees’ most productive business days, according to a recent survey released by Accountemps Inc. of Fayetteville.
Conducted by Accountemps’ parent company Robert Half International Inc. of Menlo Park, Calif., the survey asked 150 executives with the nation’s 1,000 largest companies which day they perceived to be most productive for their employees.
Tuesday earned the best review with 48 percent of the executives’ votes. Monday followed with 26 percent. Friday received the worst rating with only 1 percent.
In a press release, Accountemps Chairman Max Messmer said, “Mondays can be hectic because there are frequently more meetings scheduled. By Tuesday, employees may be better focused on day-to-day responsibilities.”
