People at PwC

At PricewaterhouseCoopers, our people truly are our most valuable asset. Our success depends on who we recruit and how we develop and motivate our people to provide the best possible service to our clients.

With offices in 749 cities across 153 countries, we have a presence in almost every part of the world. If challenging work with great people sounds like what you're looking for, learn more about career opportunities with PwC.

Global Mobility

PwC's Global Mobility Programme not only boosts the delivery of increasingly high-quality services to clients but also develops the skills and international perspective of our people. At the end of FY 2008, some 3,228 partners and staff from PwC member firms in 103 countries were posted internationally on short and long-term transfers or assignments.

These secondments enable our network to achieve specific business objectives, help us develop our people and reflect our people's aspirations and choices. The total number of international transfers across the PwC network is rising steadily year on year, as the annual investment in the mobility programme increases.

Developing tomorrow's leaders

We cannot foresee tomorrow's world, but we're convinced that the most effective way to prepare for the future is to identify potential leaders and provide them with the tools they will need to take the organisation forward—whatever the challenges.

Two noteworthy global initiatives we launched in 2001 illustrate the value that fostering multicultural development creates for both PwC and individual participants. Genesis Park is an accelerated professional development programme for high performing staff combining elements of strategic thinking, team-building and change management. Participants are drawn from around the world for an intensive five-month residency programme based in Washington, DC and Berlin.

Our Ulysses programme is a leadership development programme for key talent partners taking them on a unique learning journey to encourage personal transformation for business impact. The programme creates an experiential learning platform from which to explore issues of leadership, diversity and sustainability—an eight week project collaboration is at the core of the initiative where multicultural PwC teams partner with social organisations in their respective countries.
