PwC peopleThe combined head count of PwC firms is more than 146,000, an increase of 3 percent during FY2007. PwC firms have a total of 766 offices in 150 countries.PwC ranking in student surveysWe continue to be the most attractive employer in our profession, as indicated by recent student surveysPwC turnoverAverage partner and staff turnover rates in our larger member firms improved again this year. However, retention rates are still lower than we would like, partly reflecting the intense competition for experienced specialists in many markets. We are continuing to work on improving retention rates, particularly among high performers.Gender diversityWomen represent half of our global workforce at the recruitment level, but only 13 percent of the Partnership. Because of this, the PwC network has made gender diversity a primary goal. We have formed the global Gender Advisory Council to advise on ways to improve the situation because gender diversity is a significant business issue that effectively enhances the bottom line.Global mobilityPwC’s global mobility programme matches high-performing people interested in international assignments with PwC member firms in need of additional professional support. In FY2007, the number of short- and long-term assignments continued to grow at double-digit levels.Global People SurveyThe views of our people around the world are important to us, therefore it is encouraging that our Global People Survey continues to achieve an impressive response rate. The results of the survey are also good, showing we have consolidated the steady progress achieved over the past few years. A very large majority of our workforce, for example, is proud to be associated with PwC, considers it a good place to work and believes that they have ample opportunity for growth.
