KPMG staff rush to apply for four-day week

Strong demand for KPMG's four-day week offer reduces threat of redundancies

Nearly 70% of KPMG's 11,000 UK staff have applied to work a four-day working week or take extended unpaid leave, according to a spokesman for the Big Four firm.

KPMG is not thought to be considering introducing the scheme imminently after making a strong start to the year, although the scheme could be introduced in the spring or summer, depending on economic conditions.
