BBC star and business magnate Lord Alan Sugar has hit out at PwC after the professional services firm confirmed it would be reducing working hours for staff over the summer.
PwC has said from June 1 to the end of August employees will be able to condense their working week to finish at lunchtime on Fridays. The Big Four firm employs more than 580 staff at its offices at Glass Wharf in Bristol.
The shortened summer hours were piloted by the company in 2021 as part of its hybrid working policy - and are now being offered again this year. The firm's approach to hybrid working also includes flexible bank holidays, allowing staff to take up to two bank holidays at a time that suits them.
