PwC has implemented a new monitoring system in its UK offices that tracks employee attendance through building pass swipes and WiFi connections. The system, which went live for supervisors in April 2025, features a 'traffic-light' dashboard that enables senior partners to oversee office presence. This initiative reflects a broader trend among companies enforcing office attendance at the highest rate in five years. The move has raised concerns among some staff members regarding privacy and workplace surveillance. The development comes amid ongoing discussions about remote work practices in the UK.
