PwC UK’s new policy mandates that staff spend at least three days a week in the office or with clients, emphasizing the importance of face-to-face interactions in a people-centric business environment.
Laura Hinton stated, "This feels right for our business and right for our people, given our focus on client service, coaching, and learning and development," reflecting the rationale behind the shift to more office work.
The shift by PwC is indicative of a broader trend seen among major UK employers who are pushing for increased office attendance in the wake of remote working's rise during the pandemic.
Kevin Ellis, former chair of PwC UK, said younger employees should avoid the appeal of working from home, highlighting concerns about the potential drawbacks of remote work.
