At Protiviti, we are driven by our core values of integrity, inclusion, and innovation. We believe that we succeed through teamwork, diversity, and respect for each other. Our diverse solution offerings require a diverse set of high-performing professionals from a variety of backgrounds. We use a team-based approach which fosters an environment that is inclusive, collaborative, and even family-like. It is essential to our business and to our success that everyone feels included on our team. Everyone’s ideas and contributions will be considered in our problem- solving work, to ensure that they are empowered.

We believe embracing diversity, equity, and inclusion are the right and responsible things to do, and we also know they are vital to our success. Broadening our capabilities by tapping into diverse backgrounds and experiences is how we can best serve our clients. As a global organization, we need a global team of professionals, each bringing unique perspectives to provide for our clients. 

Diversity, Equity & Inclusion Initiatives

Our Diversity, Equity & Inclusion initiatives are designed to attract, develop, and retain the most talented professionals in the market. We seek to recruit and retain a diverse employee population including people of different race, gender, age, sexual orientation, or any other dimension of diversity. Each of us has a different experience to contribute to our company and to our clients. It is the breadth of these experiences, and how they all work together, that makes us succeed. 

Our Inclusion Champions Network is a diverse spectrum of individuals from different offices, bringing together employees from across solutions and career levels to design and implement diversity programming. Serving as change agents, these individuals connect people on a local level to the bigger strategy – through events, educational programming, and Employee Network Groups.

Employee Network Groups

Employee Network Groups are local, grass-roots groups that organize both in-person and online to focus on promoting diversity initiatives within the company. While the activities in these groups are driven by employees, they are supported by leadership and provide our employees an “Opportunity to Have an Impact” as promised in our People Promises.
