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.


2008 Eurofirms’ Women in PwC Annual Report: Diversity in Action

Released in April 2008, this Annual Report looks at the diversity activities and achievements of PwC’s 20 European firms. The report includes the thoughts of some of our clients on diversity and the stories of a few of our female leaders about their personal journeys.


The leaking pipeline: Where are our female leaders?

This study is based on interviews with 79 female leaders within PwC's global network, on issues pertaining to women in leadership roles. It sheds light on the various obstacles faced by women as they rise within the ranks of professional services firms and provides recommendations to companies on how to build gender diversity in order to increase the bottom line while still promoting the advancement of women in the workplace.


Enablers, barriers, responses

Launched at the Women's Forum for the Economy and Society in October 2007, this publication looks at the economic barriers and enablers which impact women in the workplace and offers perspectives and insights from working women in Brazil, China, France, Germany, India, Spain, Sweden, and the US.
