People

Developing responsible leaders

We believe that our people will do great things provided they are given the opportunity to grow professionally and personally. Our goal is to help our people develop their leadership skills and become successful contributors to our firm, and within our communities.

Recruiting talented people

To meet the growing needs of our firm, identifying and hiring talented people is vital. While we frequently promote from within, we could not accomplish our goals without a steady focus on new and experienced talent.

Supporting our workforce

Our people strategy is based upon the notion that people can do great things when they are given the chance to grow professionally and personally, and when they are recognized and rewarded for their accomplishments.

• Compensation and benefits

  PwC communicates with transparency about the competitiveness of an employee’s salary and strives to provide a competitive package that surpasses what direct competitors offer.

• Flexibility²

  Creating a more flexible culture – for our business and for our people – is essential if we want to deliver high-quality service, grow our business, and create a rewarding work experience.

• Health and wellness

  We’ve created a culture that includes the health and financial well-being of our staff as an integral part of our people strategy.

Learning and development

We invest in our people by providing customized and enriching work experiences, along with formalized coaching and mentoring programs, and robust learning opportunities, that allow them to deliver high-quality services to our clients while cultivating individual careers. In FY11, we invested nearly $190 million in learning and development programs and issued 1.9 million CPE credits.

Diversity and inclusion

Diversity isn’t just an ideal; it’s also a business opportunity – a chance to bring a plurality of perspectives and experiences to the table, one person at a time. We work hard to make PwC a place where people of all backgrounds can thrive and build a fulfilling career.

Employee engagement

Employee engagement is an important part of our people feeling that they have an investment in the success of our firm. We promote a sense of community through a variety of communications vehicles among partners and staff.

At PwC, our professionals are at the heart of our business strategy and success. We recruit top talent with a focus on diversity and inclusion. We offer world-class learning and development opportunities, and exceptional growth opportunities, across our global network of firms. And we continue to enhance all of the elements that make PwC a great place to work.
