Overview

• PwC UK has intensified enforcement of its hybrid working policy with a traffic-light dashboard that flags staff below 60% in-office or client-site presence
• The dashboard, live for supervisors since April, integrates key-card swipes, laptop Wi-Fi connections, cross-referenced timesheet data plus HR records to map employee locations
• Employees can access their own attendance data and managerial staff use dashboard scores to inform performance evaluations
• Attendance marked amber for under 60% and red for under 40% can trigger formal sanctions affecting performance ratings and bonuses, with sickness and family-leave allowances available on request
• The intensified tracking has amplified privacy concerns among PwC’s 23,000 UK staff and reflects a sector-wide shift toward stricter office-attendance monitoring
