Protiviti's DEI Journey | Protiviti United States

The Power of Values

In Protiviti’s 20-year history, diversity, equity, and inclusion have always been our priority.

In 2017, our firm redefined our core values-those that we collectively share and commit to practicing in our culture and business. After much consideration, we settled on three values: Integrity, Innovation, and Inclusion. In 2022, we incorporated a new value to align to our parent company, Robert Half, adding our fourth value: Commitment to Success.

It quickly became evident that leaning into our values accelerates Protiviti’s DEI efforts. It’s essential that we share our progress and lessons learned, and that we look at DEI through the lens of our values that have significantly influenced our work.

At Protiviti, we’re on a journey. Integrity guides our way. Inclusion moves us forward together, innovation creates new destinations, and we are passionately committed to success.

How we define DEI at Protiviti

Diversity

The presence of characteristics, different and similar, that make our workforce unique.

Equity

The commitment to ensure processes are impartial, fair and provide access and opportunities for individual needs.

Inclusion

The practice of valuing, respecting and creating a sense of belonging for our people.

Inclusion Moves Us Forward Together

We are on this DEI journey together, and we succeed through teamwork, diversity and respect for one another. We manage our business in a highly collaborative manner where all viewpoints are heard and valued. We recognize and promote flexibility as essential to supporting our people.

Our value of inclusion has enabled us to reimagine recruiting practices, from sourcing to interviews to onboarding. It has pushed us to think differently and diversely about the benefits we offer. It has expanded collaboration around DEI to all the markets and regions where we operate, in all service lines and at all career levels. Employee Network Groups, or ENGs, enrich Protiviti’s culture, creating a sense of belonging, allyship and authenticity that empowers every member of our team. We don’t just want to be a great place to work – we aspire to be a great place to work for all. Inclusion moves us forward, every day, together.
