| Why It's on the Top 50: A long-time national diversity leader, PricewaterhouseCoopers is never satisfied with its diversity success and is constantly innovating. CEO Commitment and Corporate Communications are particularly strong.
Description: PricewaterhouseCoopers provides industry-focused services for public and private clients.
From U.S. Senior Partner and Chairman Dennis Nally: "At PricewaterhouseCoopers, we believe in confronting the hard realities-and then doing something about it. And diversity is no exception to that approach. We believe that diversity should be about actions, not platitudes."
Diversity Strengths: U.S. Senior Partner and Chairman Dennis Nally chairs the diversity council (only 54 percent of Top 50 CEOs do this). Retention is unbiased for the work force and for management, which means retention rates are level across race/ethnicity and gender. All the company's managers participate in the mentoring program (the Top 50 average is 31 percent). PricewaterhouseCoopers has very strong work/life benefits and mandatory employee surveys that include diversity, and it gets a perfect score for the way its web site reflects its commitment to diversity.
Recent Diversity Success: On Martin Luther King Day, for the second year in a row, PwC hosted more than 700 high-school students, guidance counselors and parents at offices across the country to honor Dr. King's legacy of tolerance, peace and equality.
