PRICEWATERHOUSECOOPERS, one of the Big Four accounting firms, is clamping down on remote working in the UK, bringing in tighter rules that require employees to spend more time in the office.
The firm told staff and partners on Thursday (Sep 5) that they should spend at least three days a week in the office or with clients, up from two or three days previously.
“Face-to-face working is hugely important to a people business like ours, and the new policy tips the balance of our working week into being located alongside clients and colleagues,” Laura Hinton, managing partner of PwC UK, said in a statement.
Employers are placing increasing emphasis on working from the office, rolling back hybrid working that became popular during the pandemic. BLOOMBERG
