How inclusion and diversity have been organised
How inclusion and diversity have been organised
PwC collaborates with various international teams when implementing our inclusion and diversity policy.
- Inclusion & Diversity team: we have an Inclusion & Diversity team for PwC Netherlands, which is responsible for developing and implementing our policy in this area. As an inclusive culture is a prerequisite for our transformation to a purpose-based and value-driven organisation, this has been a strategic objective for us since 2007. Our Inclusion & Diversity team is part of the Strategy & Change team and reports to the board of management.
- Inclusion & Diversity platform: we have set up an internal Inclusion & Diversity platform in order to improve the commitment of our senior leaders. This platform unites people who have a variety of perspectives (senior leaders, role models, networks) in order to serve as a sounding board for important themes at any moment in time. As a result, we can co-create and optimise our vision and initiatives in order to ensure an inclusive environment.
- Global Inclusion & Diversity council: this council consists of inclusion and diversity experts, role models and chairs from our global PwC network. It facilitates worldwide dialogue about inclusion and diversity, shares internationally-available best practices on the topic and advises the worldwide leadership team about our ambitions. PwC Global has designed a Global Disability and a Global Shine strategy to focus on these topics worldwide.
- Measurement and monitoring: we establish targets for the intake, promotion and outflow of female colleagues and colleagues from diverse cultural backgrounds. Progress is monitored and additional measures taken if targets are not met.
- Third party observer: we incorporate a colleague into annual appraisal processes in order to make them more objective. This person has been specifically trained to identify prejudices.
- In 2023, we started collecting data on employment challenges, gender identity, and sexual orientation. We were already collecting data on sex and the cultural background of our colleagues. In line with CBS, we have implemented a new definition for cultural background to ensure our data remains comparable.
