Gender Equity Partnerships

Partnerships play an important role in advancing Protiviti’s gender equity strategy. These groups have a strong focus on gender equity to aid in our dedication to increasing our female representation within our company, with a keen focus on our leadership levels. We believe in partnering with these organizations to aid in the professional development of our own diverse workforce at Protiviti and to help close the gender gap in fields like technology, cybersecurity, finance, and accounting. Together, we can forge women’s equality at Protiviti and beyond.

Protiviti is a proud diamond sponsor of this annual program, celebrating American Banker’s Most Powerful Women in Banking™ and NEXT honorees. These women are at the forefront of the biggest ideas driving the industry—and our world— leading resilient, growing businesses and organizations in the face of some of the most uncertain times in financial services. Their optimism, strength, and insights are an inspiration, and their combined contributions remind us that we are strongest when we amplify our voices. In 2021, we hosted a luncheon with the honorees and celebrated their accomplishments at the annual gala, hosting the class of 2020 & 2021 NEXT honorees as our guests.

Most Powerful Women in Banking

We began our partnership with GWC to help close the gender gap in technology and IT. Girls Who Code is a nonprofit organization which aims to support and increase the number of women in computer science by equipping young women with the necessary computing skills to pursue 21st century opportunities.

Offices in Chicago, Dallas, and the Bay Area supported GWC locally with programming and social events and nationally, we participated in the GWC speed networking event where our employees connected with students from colleges all over the U.S. and hear about why they chose to major in tech/computer science/business intelligence.

The Grace Hopper Celebration is the largest women in technology national event hosted by AnitaB.

We have had a corporate partnership with AFWA since 2005. The mission of the Accounting & Financial Women’s Alliance is to enable women in all accounting and finance fields to achieve their full potential and to contribute to their profession.
