PwC UK has recently reported that, from January next year, it will be requiring all its staff to spend at least three days a week in the office or with clients.

The approach adjusts its hybrid working by placing more emphasis on in-person working.

Laura Hinton, Managing Partner at PwC UK, said: “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. This feels right for our business and right for our people, given our focus on client service, coaching, and learning and development. At the same time, we continue to offer flexibility through hybrid working.”

This is just the latest report of many from companies who are pushing back against the Working from Anywhere fashion that grew rapidly during COVID.  The trend appears to have reversed in favour of a more traditional working style.
