Ways of Working: Hybrid-Working Model

We're committed to cultivating an inclusive, hybrid work environment. We work in-person and virtually, as is best suited for our clients, teams and people. PwC offices are hubs of connectivity and learning. We strongly encourage our people to prioritize in-person work, whether it’s in the office or at a client site. This means we expect you to be in-person (either with clients or in the office) at least half of your time. We know that hybrid work is all about balance and we want you to be intentional with your work, how you do it and where it’s done.

To support you in your journey towards parenthood, we offer enhanced family building benefits including up to $10,000 for Fertility Drugs and up to $20,000 for Fertility, Surrogacy and Adoption services.

Vacation, holidays and floater days 

Taking time off work is integral to wellbeing, sustained productivity and high performance. Taking a break reduces stress and helps you relax. 

Vacation entitlement is based on a calendar year and prorated from your hire date:
Less than ten years: 15 days 
10+ years or manager and higher level: 20 days 
20+ years: 25 days 

In addition to the observance of provincial statutory holidays, you’ll have three additional floater days annually to help you manage your personal commitments. The total number of statutory and floater holidays per year will vary by office (depending on the provincial requirements for that location). For instance, an associate or senior associate with less than ten years of service would be entitled to up to 32/33* total annual paid days off:


  • 15 days vacation (annualized for full-time, permanent staff) 
  • 14/15 firm-wide holidays* 
  • 2/3 floater days* 
*based on the province of residence 

Specialized parental leave coaching and training

We want you to thrive as a parent and feel supported as you pursue and achieve your professional and family goals. We offer specialized coaching to set you and your team up for a supportive transition so that you can focus on your family during your leave and successfully re-onboard with your long term career goals in mind.

Your development

We take your professional development seriously and believe it's a shared responsibility. Our approach is tailored to help you realize your potential, think like a leader and take responsibility for building your career in a way that speaks to our shared values. 

PwC Professional 

At the core of your development experience is our global career progression framework, the PwC Professional. Supporting the firm’s high-performance culture, the framework outlines the skills and capabilities we all need to develop to meet our business objectives and deliver a consistent, outstanding experience to our clients, people and communities. 

Enhanced working practices (EWP) 

A key element of developing as a PwC Professional is our award-winning approach to on-the-job coaching—EWP. EWP enables you to develop yourself and others every day. At the heart of our EWP approach is the concept of teach, don’t tell—the use of open-ended questions that teaches our people to think and learn—supported by on-the-job routines such as shadowing, lessons learned, observation and feedback.​​​​​​​

Learning 

Our people become PwC Professionals through a combination of on-the-job experience, formal training and learning from others. Through Vantage, our digital learning system, you’ll have access to curated educational materials from multiple trusted sources. These materials will be personalized to you and available when you need them. This development approach makes our people architects of their own careers.​​​​​​​

Coaching 

We want you to achieve your full potential. You'll be assigned a coach on your first day with us to help you develop your skills, diversify your experiences and achieve your career goals. Coaching strengthens PwC Canada one conversation at a time and it's an integral component of how we work together to share relationships, ideas and knowledge. 

Rewards and recognition

We believe showing our appreciation for one another and recognizing great efforts helps us create leaders and inspire our people.
