PwC 'Tipping the Balance' of Hybrid Working and Will Start Tracking Its Workers' Locations

PwC has demanded staff spend less time working from home -- and it's going to start tracking their location to ensure they comply. From a report: The accountancy firm informed its 26,000 U.K. employees in a memo that from January they'll be expected to be at their desks -- or with clients -- at least three days a week, or for 60% of their time. Previously staff were expected to spend two to three days working in-person. What's more, to ensure staffers are not secretly working from home (or at a beach) when they shouldn't be, the company will monitor how often they're working from the office, in the same way it monitors how many chargeable hours they work. Every month, workers will be sent information about their "individual working location data" which will even be shared with their in-house career coaches, according to the Financial Times.
