UK accountancy giant tells its 22,000 staff they can start and finish their working day when they like


U.K. accountancy giant PwC has told its 22,000 staff that they can choose when they start and finish their day as part of plans to allow "greater flexibility for post-pandemic working." 

The multinational professional services firm called its new flexible working hours rule an "empowered day" in its announcement Wednesday. 

The flexible working day was one of three key parts to a new framework it called the "deal." 

Another of the changes was to allow people to continue working from home some of the time beyond the pandemic, with an expectation that staff work with colleagues either in the office or at a client site for an average of 40% to 60% of the time. 

The third key change was to let staff work a half-day on Fridays during July and August. However, PwC added that it was assumed most of its staff would finish working at lunchtime on Friday "having condensed their working week."
