Translating Our Humanity

Inspiring our people

‘Our Deal’ for our people supports our strategy of creating trust as we aspire to deliver sustained outcomes. It offers our people opportunities for growth, to be valued, to make a difference and to be empowered.

Our clients, people and communities need us to focus on the world’s most critical problems and build trust in all we do. We must evolve to keep pace with a rapidly changing world. To evolve, we need new skills, new ways of thinking, and different behaviours, which will result in the evolution of the ‘PwC Professional’. Trusted leadership and distinctive outcomes are essential to how we live our purpose and strategy.

Delivering on our strategy are over 10,000 solvers across 14 countries. They are led by over 400 partners across the East, West and South Market Areas. Reinforcing the message that we are only half the story, we inspire our people to thrive as a community of solvers who deliver on The New Equation.

Global people survey insights

We value our people. Significant time has been invested in developing new skills at all levels as we introduced the concepts of trusted leadership and embedded the behaviours—inspire, evolve and empower. Partners, team leaders, new managers and future associates are all excited to change the firm with this fresh outlook on how we show up as we deliver on Our Deal and firm strategy.

Our brand is our pride and has also grown. Our success at recruiting top talent shows the attractiveness of the profession and the firm. Creative university programmes across the continent that include coaching support, financial workshops, transition programmes, academic support, mentorship, campus takeover events, and more, make PwC a household name as a future employer and increase our talent pipeline at all levels. Awards won by the firm and the large graduate intake of over 1,000 trainees across Africa make us one of the largest trainers of accounting students and shows our commitment to cultivating future talent. We have sourced and recruited over 1,800 experienced hires across PwC Africa in the past year.
