Diversity & Inclusion
Diversity at PwC Hungary
The PwC network is committed to creating and supporting an inclusive workforce. We employ people from diverse cultures and backgrounds and with a wide range of experiences. We’re committed to making sure everyone who works at PwC feels comfortable bringing their true selves to work. Advancing and supporting diversity and inclusion isn’t just the right thing to do. An inclusive workplace enables us to embrace the diverse backgrounds and perspectives of all our people to create better outcomes for stakeholders and society.
Our diversity efforts focus on the following three areas:
- reintegrating employees returning from maternity leave,
- supporting women’s career paths,
- providing flexible forms of work, especially for workers with children.
We build a corporate culture that offers innovation, continuous learning and professional development, in which we work flexibly, thus supporting work-life balance.
Diversity and equity
To scale our global commitment to I&D in a locally sensitive way, we have created a flexible framework that allows each member firm to align with our global Inclusion First strategy in a way that makes sense for the dynamics of their country or region and respects where each territory is on its I&D journey. We put inclusion not just at the heart of our global I&D strategy, but also in how we execute this strategy across the PwC network.
The principles of our approach
- Member firms commit to adopting an I&D strategy centred on inclusion first systems and behaviours.
- Each member firm combines that with a focus on gender and at least one further dimension of diversity that is of local importance.
- Member firms also apply a purpose-driven approach to their local I&D strategies, focusing on social inclusion to elevate their change efforts both within and beyond PwC.
Inclusion & diversity highlights
Diversity is a core value of our company, and we are proud to have launched the “Partner Conversations on Diversity” series in FY24, which continued into FY25. During the online roundtable discussions, PwC partners shared their thoughts on diversity, what acceptance means to them, and how it manifests in their daily lives.
A key goal of our diversity strategy is to improve gender balance at senior management level. We asked our female colleagues what obstacles they see and what could help achieve this goal. Their proposal led to the creation of the Woman in Leadership – Career Talks series, which aims to showcase a wide range of female careers and inspire women to take on leadership roles.
A key component of our diversity strategy is to support parents at PwC in achieving a healthy balance between their careers and their family lives, including spending time with their children.
With this in mind, we offered two programmes to our colleagues in June:
- MiniOffice: With Dad/Mum at the workplace
- Peer bullying at school – staff presentation, Hintalovon Foundation
„We are different – in appearance, interests, religious affiliation, or skills. But this is what makes us unique. At PwC, our goal is to create an inclusive environment where diverse teams solve important problems supported by a culture of inclusion, trust, and transparency.”
Sustainability report
HeForShe
We believe it is very important that women are treated equally in and outside the workplace, and we are committed to ensuring that their opinions and ideas are given the same weight as those of their male colleagues. That is why we have joined the global initiative #HeForShe, and we encourage the staff in our Hungarian office to share their thoughts on why this cause is important to them.
European Diversity Charter
In October 2018 we signed the European Diversity Charter for the third time, which promotes diversity and antidiscrimination in the workplace. Its main objective is to raise leaders’ awareness and to increase their commitment to mainstreaming diversity in their organisations by providing support and inspiration for developing human resource management.
WeAreOpen
We are convinced that being open, judging everyone solely on the basis of their achievements and actions, is not only the right thing to do, but experience indicates that it makes business sense.
