| PB welcomes and respects difference as vital to
our success: Our corporate vision can only be achieved
through maintaining a diverse working environment.
Employee relationships
and beyond
There is no one definition of diversity; it's a mindset
about understanding and respecting differences. Ultimately,
diversity means creating effective business strategies
through inclusiveness and full workforce utilization.
As an internal working environment, PB is a culture
that values every individual's background. Regardless
of nationality, creed, race, language, gender, age,
orientation or religion, PB provides equal opportunity
to and fosters positive working relationships among
all individuals.
Attracting diverse talent
to our worldwide culture
PB operates in a wide variety of cultures, and our clients
are increasingly diverse. These differences are a source
of tremendous strength, and we're fostering a workforce
that reflects and is respectful of local cultures and
customs.
Forty percent of our employees work outside the U.S.
We work in more than 80 countries, with a growing presence
in Africa, South America and Australia. Each day, we
interact with co-workers very different from ourselves
who nevertheless share the same core values of competency
and commitment.
In the U.S. market we hire inclusively across all demographics.
Globally, we hire from the local labor market. But hiring
is just the first step: PB provides each employee with
the opportunity to reach his/her full potential. This
means actively providing opportunities for our promising
employees and future leaders to be exposed to the rich
diversity that exists across the firm.
