The Firm Spy has been understandably scathing of PwC‘s response to the GFC. We thought two waves of redundancies, a veiled pay reduction, and rumours causing general employee angst warranted our condemnation.
But PwC PR foot-soldier Sharon Bell, the National Manager of Human Capital, has answered the call, in the process taking out the inaugural Firm Spy PR Award.
We’re looking at managing people’s needs, so encouraging to take people to, you know, use their leave balances… And then, you know, the initiative that you’ve just mentioned, which is around asking people to consider taking some leave without pay prior to January 2010.
…people are exploring what it means for them, obviously, as individuals, but looking at, you know, how they could make good use of that time. So, whether it be around spending more time with family or, you know, doing some community work, studying or pursuing other, you know, hobbies, sporting interests. So, you know, we are getting a lot of interest amongst the staff to do that.
So, you know, give us a fair go!
