Business tycoon Lord Alan Sugar has criticised PwC after the professional services firm announced plans for shorter working hours for staff over the summer.
From June 1 to the end of August, PwC’s employees will be able to condense their working week to finish at lunchtime on Fridays. The summer working 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.
