KPMG | Workers told to hand in THIS item to cut costs

As part of a job function, employees may receive perks and will be given equipment to help them carry out their tasks. Whether it’s a company mobile or laptop, each can enhance an individual’s ability to get the job done.

This was something a large majority of KPMG employees were privy to. However, while many members of staff were provided with a work phone, the financial services firm has since told hundreds of its UK employees to hand in their mobiles as part of a cost-saving initiative, reported the Financial Times.

The Big Four company shared an internal memo with its staff outlining that it would start collecting phones in October, which marks the first month of its financial year. It said:

“We will be starting the process... over the course of October, to give colleagues time to make alternative plans in the event they don’t already have a personal mobile.”
