PwC UK

PwC is seeking to capitalize on the landmark EY business split, and will seek direct admit hires by poaching senior executives from EY.

A PwC global survey reveals that nearly 18% of UK workers are likely to change jobs in the next year, with tech sector employees particularly pressing for pay increases, as fulfilling work and personal authenticity emerge as key motivators amidst ongoing concerns about development opportunities, especially among millennials and Gen Z.

PwC has acquired London-based innovation consultancy, Pollen8. The deal will give PwC access to Pollen8’s specialist innovation management platform, enhancing its firmwide technology innovation capability.

PwC UK is the first major consulting firm to announce new working arrangements for its 22,000 staff, setting a precedent for progressive firms looking to embrace organisational agility and attract diverse talent in 2021 as the country continues its route out of lockdown.
