I think a hybrid could work. I agree starting staff need personal connection. I have had number of remote walk through a to try to train staff but I feel it’s not as good as in person training. That said 2 days client 1 day office two days from home on average could likely work and make everyone have a better balance

Good luck to younger staff ever developing the kind of networks and skill sets necessary to sell and win work in the long run. Worker bees of the world unite. This is very unfortunate, OP, if true. I’m sure I’ll catch plenty of pushback for saying this, but I’m right.

@KPMG1 - sadly, I am not young anymore. But I am glad you classified me to younger generations.

How come the only person who seems to know about this new Deloitte policy works at BDO?

That can’t be true. Maybe not required to go to a Deloitte office but they can’t tell clients they won’t send staff to client locations

Well yeah, why would you go somewhere when you’re unstaffed?

OP's source is a UK article. It's going to depend on service line, team, and client needs in US, but even more flexibility and less travel is expected.

We had some survey a few weeks back on WFH preference but I haven’t seen the results. There is a all hands call next week (for A&A) where they are supposed to discuss WFH hybrid. Based off of what I’ve seen so far WFH is going to be on a client by client basis and what their preferences are. I know my team is planning 2-3 days WFH but nothing has been determined yet.
