We have produced a number of publications on gender diversity and women in the workplace, including:
Life Changes: A candid conversation about work and motherhood
Each year thousands of PwC professionals become parents and take time off to care for their families. To meet the needs of our working parents, PwC has made several significant investments: increasing paid parental leave, enhancing backup child-care options, creating
parenting support groups, and launching
Full Circle, a programme designed for parents who want to off-ramp and then return to PwC. In addition to these targeted initiatives, we recognise that all of our people need everyday flexibility. Clearly, the challenge of juggling work and life affects everyone, at every level, and throughout one’s entire career. The PwC US Office of Diversity invites you to view
Life Changes, a short film to increase your personal understanding of the choices and challenges facing working mothers.
