Diversity at PwC

There has been a lot of recent communications about diversity and inclusion at PwC. There is also a big push for diversity in upper management which is exciting.

Seems good. PwC pushes for increased number of women in the workplace and in higher positions. I have attended various networking sessions PwC seems to rank poorly regarding people of colour, especially at the partner level I have come across managers on maternity and paternity leave. Apart from this I haven't looked into the issue further

There is a significant investment in the diversity and inclusion programmes with affinity groups for at least women, people with disabilities, queer individuals, and people from varying cultural backgrounds. There is a focus on recruiting these individuals and supporting them in the firm.

Have communities such as GLEE, LGBT. Host functions and events specifically for it and continually send around emails promoting it and do talks.

My entire team is roughly a 50% on gender. The team is also very ethnically diverse with staff originating from all over the world. They are also very supportive of the LGBT community often raising awareness through special events.

The company does not discriminate against women, ethnic minorities and the LGBT community. Maternity leave is provided and there is a policy where employees can work from home if needed. The company is committed to ensuring it is diverse and accepting of those who are considered in the minority.

World leading

Lots of people have flexible working arrangements to accommodate being working parents.

The commitment to diversity is good, but the history of the company means that the top level is still not diverse.

D&I team is very focused on this.

Diversity was actually discussed in detail in the most recent morning meeting. Our team in particular seems strong in this regard.

Big drive to promote Diversity and inclusion. Good with gender and LGBT, need to do more culturally and with people with disabilities.

My company is one of the top companies for LGBT rights and gender diversity.

very diverse team

The company has many policies in place to promote diversity. One is the 40/40/20 partnership target, meaning 40% of partners will be male, 40% female, and 20% discretionary according to business needs.

Paternal leave. Maternal leave. Supporter of LGBT.

Working really hard to get there and taking D&I very seriously

child care and maternity leave options are available and there are people of many different backgrounds in the office

There is a large commitment to diversity, but depending on what the issue is, there's very little tangible movement in the space. LGBT is fantastically covered. However, issues like women and ethnic diversity appears to fall short. The efforts to discuss this seems to be more than other firms put in though.

Good D&I programs and events

I know that career advertising has been increased heavily to Western Sydney University to attract those candidates.

PwC does: Indigenous consulting mentoring for schools in low socio economic backgrounds pro bono work for charities

While this has been mentioned there is no advertised targeted programme for individuals from less privileged backgrounds to my knowledge.

The company is committed to ensuring that it does not discriminate against those from less privileged backgrounds.

Outreach to areas and offer internships and support for them.

This company ensures that there is a strong presence amongst its management who are of different backgrounds.

It's on the news; PwC is part of a upskilling programme to provide internship opportunities to less privileged individuals (including war veterans).

Getting rid of university degrees as a requirement in the hiring process. Hiring non-traditional education backgrounds.

applications are open to anyone
