At the heart of our firm lies our commitment to our people. We believe that our strength stems from hiring, nurturing, and developing the most diverse and multidisciplinary teams to help our clients solve their most important challenges and deliver sustained outcomes. This mission aligns seamlessly with our network purpose, The New Equation, which emphasises the critical role of an inclusive and diverse community of human-led and tech-powered community of solvers, for building trust and delivering sustained outcomes.
Every individual in our community brings a unique set of experiences, perspectives, and skills. An 'Inclusion First' approach actively fosters a culture where everyone feels valued, respected, and empowered to bring their authentic selves to work and where individuals think, act, and lead inclusively. This culture of belonging enhances creativity, innovation, and collaboration, driving both individual and organisational success.
Our 5 drivers of change - gender equity, cross-border inclusion, LGBT+ inclusion, disability and social inclusion - rely on insights and Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) to take decisive action on issues important to our workforce. We ensure that leadership commitment, our internal systems, and our behaviours follow an inclusion first strategy to align with the pursuit of fair and impartial outcomes. We take pride in the trust and engagement our people show in various Inclusion and Diversity initiatives and are committed to transparency as a core aspect of our devotion to advancing equality in our society.
With October and November aimed at raising awareness of women's and men’s health issues, we organised several lunchtime panel sessions bringing together external experts. The October panel spoke about their experience with breast cancer, while the November panel shed light on the more common physical and mental health issues that are being faced by men aged 20 to 60. Furthermore, PwC Malta also donated to the Richmond Foundation as well as Europa Donna Malta. We also provided discounts to all PwC employees on related medical examinations booked during these two months to encourage frequent screening.
We celebrated EMEA International Gender Balance Week in 2024 by providing a localised workshop over and above the online calls, centred around Women’s Day in March. The event titled ‘HER Hour: Nurturing physical & mental health’ brought together a panel of external guests who shed light on both the mental and physical aspects of women’s wellbeing.
During FY24, we celebrated the June and September pride months both internally and externally, using these as a platform to raise further awareness of the LGBT+ community, related successes and challenges, as well as social injustice.
We offer personalised flexible arrangements tailored to each individual's needs, aiming to promote a work-life balance that suits them. These customised options vary, allowing team members to adjust their working hours, reduce their schedules, modify their work scope, or incorporate more remote work into their routines.
We understand the importance of accommodating diverse lifestyles and preferences within our workforce, recognising that a one-size-fits-all approach may not be effective. We work together to create flexible arrangements that enhance our employees' overall wellbeing and productivity.
