BDO becomes latest auditor to tell staff to work where they like
Staff at BDO will be able to work where they like going forward.
BDO has told staff to decide where they would like to work post-pandemic, in a move that adopts a more flexible model than some of its rivals.
The challenger audit firm will ask staff to work wherever is most productive, depending upon the task they are doing. For most people this will likely mean a mixture of working at home, in the office, and at client sites.
In an interview with the Financial Times, Paul Eagland, BDO’s UK managing partner, said: “I can’t give you a barcode or an algorithm to tell each person exactly where they need to be and what they need to do, but the trust that we can carry forward from the pandemic is that each individual human probably knows what they’ve got to do.”
