You’ll be aligned to either our HR Tech & Transformation team or our Workforce Strategy & Culture team:
HR Transformation
You'll work with clients to maximise value by connecting people objectives with their business strategy.; working with HR Directors and business leaders we develop highly effective strategies and improved functions to help HR deliver their commitment of performance and growth to the business. Transformation services include support from the planning and design phases through implementation and deployment.
The team provides advice in a range of areas including:.
Workforce development
We're living through a fundamental transformation in the way we work. Automation and ‘thinking machines’ are replacing human tasks and jobs, and changing the skills that organisations look for in their people. We need to prepare for tomorrow's workforce, today and help our clients navigate through these challenges to develop and grow the 'workforce of the future'. Our Workforce Transformation team works with them to develop effective workforce strategies, creating new workforce designs, new environments - both physical and cultural - that will enhance workforce performance, and the employee experience.
Organisational design
The combination of shifting demographics and new technologies like automation, artificial intelligence, and increased connectivity are creating exciting organisational opportunities across industries: remote, agile, and flexible teams. But at the same time, an aging workforce and cultural inertia raise challenges.
We advise clients on how to build purpose-driven companies that people want to be a part of building. If an organisation isn’t meeting its employees’ or stakeholders’ expectations, the cause may be a misaligned strategy across a company's many complex, interacting organisational parts. Our experts help clients assess and redefine their strategic goals, then identify and implement the change needed to create a fit-for-purpose business.
Change and Communication
People are at the centre of any organisational change. Whether it's a large scale technology deployment, an organisation faced with challenges to its reputation, or a requirement to shift culture and behaviours, focusing and supporting people through change is critical to long term success. The Change and Communications team works with senior business leaders to develop the right strategy, articulate a compelling narrative, and design the right immersive and digital communication techniques to successfully communicate changes, and make big changes happen.
People in Deals
People in Deals is part of our People & Organisation team within Tax. The team advises on all of the people aspects of buying, selling or listing businesses both in the UK and internationally. Our work ranges from conducting due diligence for private equity, corporate and public sector organisations, to planning and implementing post-deal integration and business restructuring. Projects are both legally and operationally complex, varied, and very fast-paced.
We also come from a really wide range of backgrounds, both in-house and consulting, and half of us are pensions actuaries, so we work in a very inter-disciplinary way. Our work involves a wide range of other teams across PwC, from Financial Due Diligence and Deals Strategy, to Business Recovery Services and operational Delivering Deal Value, as well as collaborating regularly with Legal. Often, the Deals team also acts as a gateway for other HR consulting services at the firm, bringing in specialists to deliver both during and after the deal. Graduates in the team gain a broad generalist grounding across HR quickly, as well as an understanding of what makes businesses tick both financially and culturally.
High levels of client exposure is a given, particularly during post-deal work, with speed and variety of work. You’ll also gain an international network across PwC, as we regularly collaborate with other deals teams across the globe to manage complex, cross-border transactions.
