community
We are actively involved with our communities, and we believe that diversity, equity, and inclusion are essential for the wellbeing and vitality of our people, our clients and our community.
The Gender Equity Network is the first of a series of national programs planned by PKF, as we endeavour to make a tangible contribution to our community and advocate for what is truly important to us.
We invite you to join us as we seek to embed a culture of gender equity within the professional services sector of Australia and New Zealand.
Why is diversity, equity and inclusion important to us?
Our mission is to provide world-class professional services, and we understand that this requires a diverse and inclusive workforce that reflects the communities we serve.
Our diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) principles are grounded in the belief that diversity enriches our people, our clients and our community, equity ensures that everyone has equal access to opportunities and resources, and inclusion creates a sense of belonging for all.
Our principles and the actions we take aim to create a workplace culture where our people feel valued, respected, and empowered to contribute their unique perspectives and experiences.
Our principles connect us with others who are equally passionate about propelling their community.
Our DEI principles
- We value diversity in all its forms, recognising the unique perspectives, experiences, and contributions of each individual
- We promote equity by addressing barriers and creating opportunities for our people
- We foster inclusion by actively engaging with diversity in a way that promotes a sense of belonging for all
- We mitigate and reduce discrimination in all its forms by raising awareness of our unconscious biases and then actively challenge them.
The actions we take
Growth through learning
We provide diversity and inclusion training for all employees to increase awareness, understanding, and skills in creating a welcoming and inclusive workplace culture.
Mindful recruitment
We implement recruitment practices aimed at attracting a diverse pool of candidates and creating a workforce that reflects the communities we serve.
Communication and leadership
We foster a workplace culture that values and respects diversity, equity, and inclusion by promoting open communication, creating inclusive policies, and recognising the contributions of all employees.
Storytelling
We share stories and experiences to help build empathy and understanding, to encourage each other, and to challenge ourselves.
