Inclusion & Diversity

We believe that inclusion fuels ingenuity - Our people are what makes us different. Each member of our team brings a unique mindset, insight, expertise, and experience.

We are inclusive by design – as committed to making PA a great place to work as we are to delivering outcomes for our clients. We believe that every person at PA should have the opportunity to succeed in building their career in a culture that’s collaborative, diverse, inclusive, and rewarding, where our people feel valued and motivated to be their best.

  • That means having policies, systems and processes that minimise bias and provide support and opportunities where our people need this most.
  • It means attracting, developing, empowering, and retaining people from a range of backgrounds, with a diversity of ideas and holding ourselves to account with high quality people data and insights to understand our progress and target future change.
  • It means building inclusion and diversity into our learning and career frameworks to promote I&D aligned knowledge and understanding and offering mentoring and leadership development initiatives to support career progression, and provide development opportunities for underrepresented talent.

Our Employee Networks

We have nine vibrant and active employee diversity networks that celebrate, educate, and raise awareness of important issues. They're a place for people to come together to discuss and debate, and to drive and support our global inclusion strategy.

Accessibility, Neurodiversity, and Disability Network

This network exists to build understanding, appreciation, and support for and among those who consider themselves to have a disability or identify as neurodiverse. The comprising groups aim to foster a stronger community, improve experiences, and build a psychologically safe working environment where colleagues are valued for their unique contributions, can embrace their characteristics, and can play to their strengths.

Women in Tech

Our Women in Tech team strive to actively increase gender diversity and inclusion of technical roles: in the wider industry, in PA’s recruitment and retention approaches, and in our behaviours and attitudes. The team focuses on equipping women with technical skills to succeed, recruiting and retaining great female talent, building, and celebrating our internal and external communities and closing the gender gap by partnering with our clients and charities.

Mental Health and Wellbeing Network

Our Mental Health and Wellbeing Network runs events to raise awareness of key issues and facilitate conversations that shape our firm-wide initiatives. The Network aims to create a workplace where everyone knows mental health issues don’t come with a stigma and everyone has the resources available to look after their mental health and wellbeing.

Military Network

Our Military Network (MilNet) supports service leavers, veterans and serving reservists along with the families and partners of former or serving personnel, through our formal support network, coaching, mentoring and events. In recognition of MilNet’s work, the Ministry of Defence has awarded PA a Gold Award as part of the Defence Employer Recognition Scheme.

Pride Network

Our Pride Network promotes an inclusive environment in the workplace and provides information and support on LGBTQ+ issues for all. The Network works collaboratively across our firm to create an inclusive and diverse working environment and promote an ethos of respect and equality for everyone, regardless of their identity, so all colleagues can reach their full potential. Pride hosts regular events, discussion groups and mentoring and networking opportunities.

RISE Network

Our RISE Network promotes Racial Inclusion and Social Equity at PA. It aims to empower talent, build an inclusive environment and promote the value of a more diverse workforce by creating a space for all colleagues to be heard and a workplace where everyone feels comfortable being their true self. The Network also promotes awareness of diverse cultures and experiences through events, networking sessions and mentoring programmes.

Women’s Network

Our Women’s Network focuses on issues and initiatives relating to gender equality, both within PA and the communities we serve. This includes driving action on everything from closing the gender pay gap to profiling role models and allies across PA. The Network hosts regular global events, mentoring sessions, conversation groups and networking opportunities, and promotes active allyship throughout our firm.

Working Families Network

A global community across PA that creates connections for people to come together on global and local issues relevant to working families and those with caring responsibilities. The network provides opportunities for coaching, support, and peer to peer advice. It also shares experience, insight and, feedback on making PA a better place to work and where working parents and carers can thrive.

Social Mobility Network

This network is a place for open chats and connecting with others, sharing experiences, and finding resources to learn more about social mobility and how it can impact experiences in life and in the workplace.
