PwC

At PwC we undertake many initiatives to ensure we promote Ethical Behaviour in all its forms. ‘Reverse mentoring’ is one of them. It is a mandatory programme that looks at pairing more junior consultants with partners or directors of a different gender of ethnicity. The aim of the programme is for the two parties to understand what the business feels like from a different perspective, challenging their view of the ‘norm’. It is a significant and insightful programme for our people, and one that is embedded in the leadership of our business.
