A British company has implemented a new workplace policy that tracks employee location data, raising concerns about the diminishing trust between employers and employees.

The UK arm of PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC), one of the world's "Big Four" accounting firms, announced in a press release last week that it is increasing its in-office requirement for partners and staff from 2-3 days per week to 60 percent of their time, or 3 days per week.
