Deloitte opts for flexible public holidays

Deloitte has introduced ‘flexible public holidays’, so its workers can choose when they take their public holidays.

Staff will also start to see some UK offices transformed with more collaboration spaces and the latest audio and video technology to better enable hybrid meetings.

In addition, all new and recent joiners will benefit from a £500 budget, which was provided to Deloitte’s UK people at the start of the pandemic, to ensure they have a full range of equipment to properly support them whilst working from home.

Deloitte’s Jackie Henry explained: ““Our new approach means that our people can choose to take public holiday leave on the dates that are most meaningful to them, in addition to their contractual and purchased holiday allowance. They are still entitled to take public holidays on the days they fall, or they can take these days off at a different time of the year if they prefer.”
