Why It's No. 4: A longtime national diversity leader and a company recognized for its innovative work/life, mentoring and professional-development programs, PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC) never wavers in its commitment to its core values of respect for everyone.
Diversity Strengths: PricewaterhouseCoopers has never rested on its diversity laurels and continually pushes the envelope to stay ahead of its competition. The firm leads the way in finding cutting-edge and valuable means of retaining and promoting top talent, including on- and off-ramping, a work/life resource and referral service, family sick days, floating religious holidays, firm-wide holiday shutdowns, reimbursement for emergency childcare, childcare discounts at leading national vendors, and new mentor-moms programs.
PwC, one of our first five Top Global Diversity Companies, refuses to do business in countries that don't adhere to the same human-rights values as the firm, which only 18 percent of Top 50 companies do. In 2006, PwC formed a Global Gender Advisory Council reporting to the global CEO. At the 2007 Extended Leadership Meeting of PwC CEOs from around the world, the GAC presented "The Leaking Pipeline", a qualitative study of nearly 100 PwC women, speaking frankly about their careers and paths to leadership.
Dennis Nally, U.S. Chairman and Senior Partner: "The client dynamic is changing in a number of ways: first, our clients want more women and minorities advising them to get broader thinking and perspectives; second, even if our client's current leadership is not diverse, their boards are realizing that they need to become more diverse as a business imperative; and third, we are interacting with more executives who hire the type of firm that mirrors what they are aspiring to become, and who will help them understand the new business fundamentals they're trying to drive."
Roy Weathers, Partner and Chief Diversity Officer: "As part of the experience of working at PwC, all of our partners and staff members, on a global basis, are expected to demonstrate specific behaviors of building trust-based relationships, collaboration, empathy and delivering value to our clients and to each other. Our commitment to diversity means doing what it takes so that all employees receive appropriate developmental opportunities, and that we eliminate any barriers (real or perceived) that could stand in the way of advancement. We strive to be a high performing organization, and believe the only way we can be successful is to embrace all the perspectives and experiences that shape our professionals' point of view.
