My Milestone Rewards: A personalized approach to celebrating PwC careers

Through our My+ strategy, PwC is creating a people experience that puts employee well-being and technology at the center, along with the tools and development opportunities needed to personalize your career.  

To offer more frequent, personalized rewards throughout a PwC career, we launched My Milestone Rewards on July 1, 2024 to employees across the US and Mexico. It expands on prior programs to reward more employees, while offering opportunities to select how they celebrate key tenure milestones. Key elements include: 

• Awards as early as three years into an employee’s tenure. At the three, six, 10, and 15 year milestones (and every five years thereafter in the US, or every five years in Mexico), employees have the opportunity to personalize their reward selection. 
• Enhanced reward options, including new well-being offerings. The program includes options for well-being and purpose-driven experiences, in addition to time away or cash. Employees can choose the rewards and experiences that matter most to them – whether it’s a purpose adventure volunteering abroad, or time off with their loved ones.

This program is an extension of our ongoing focus on supporting our people as their lives and needs evolve over time. In addition to My Milestone Rewards, we also offer two week-long firmwide shutdowns in the US, observed since 2003, and a robust suite of benefits, from reduced schedules, paid leaves of absence, student loan paydown and international work options.

Sharing our stories: 

Check out some unique ways PwCers have used our flexible work arrangements and celebrated past firm milestones that helped inform our evolved rewards program.

"I had an unforgettable experience at a wellness retreat. It was a journey of self-discovery, where I delved into the importance of self-care, mindfulness, and digital wellness. Surrounded by the breathtaking beauty of nature, I learned to be present in the moment and nurture deeper connections with others. I am grateful to have shared this enriching experience with my husband, Kareem."– Charlena Green, Senior Associate, Tax (Atlanta, GA) 

"My award allowed me the time to prepare, lead, and decompress after participating in volunteer activities with a nonprofit organization, where I supported 60 high school students alongside 30 volunteers in planning their inaugural leadership development program. I worked with a team to raise funding and build relationships to make the event possible. The time off allowed me the space and time I needed to make the experience special." – Bryan O’Donnell, Director, Business Services (Philadelphia, PA) 

"I spent my time away with my newborn son, as an extension of my parental leave. I was so happy to have that time to bond with him and recharge prior to returning to PwC as a working mother!" – Sindhu Mathew, Director, Advisory (New York, NY)

"During my time away, I had the opportunity to first give back to my community by providing mentorship to students, while I also identified local nonprofit organizations to work with. I was also able to enjoy a concert with a few colleagues and visit my home, Puerto Rico, for two weeks where I explored the island alone and spent valuable time with my family, camping or on the beach."– Angel Cardona, Director, Assurance (Portland, OR)
