Work-Life Balance
Ruddocks adopted a permanent 9-day fortnight in January 2024. From their own 1-year-on retrospective (January 2025): "In January 2024, we implemented the 9-day fortnight – a flexible working pattern that lets staff gain an extra day off every two weeks, by working their contracted hours over 9 days instead of 10."
Approximately 65% of employees opted into the scheme, with another 25% already following alternative flexible patterns — so ~90% of the team is on some kind of compressed / flexible arrangement.
