We utilize psychometric assessments to ensure potential hires not only possess the necessary skills but also resonate with our core values. By integrating culture into our recruitment process, we curate a workforce that naturally upholds and enhances our unique organizational ethos.

This holistic approach to feedback bolsters our culture of excellence, inclusivity, and mutual respect.
- Proactive Compensation Equity Program: We recognize the crucial role fair compensation plays in fostering a positive and motivated workforce. Our proactive compensation equity program is rooted in the principle of pay-for-performance, ensuring that compensation is tied to clear, measurable outcomes. We constantly review and adjust our compensation policies to reflect market trends, individual performance, and the evolving needs of our workforce. This commitment to equitable compensation reinforces our culture of fairness, meritocracy, and recognition.
- Employee-Driven Innovation: At P&C Global, we embrace the notion that our employees are our greatest innovators. Our innovation lab encourages all team members to share their creative ideas, big or small. Selected ideas are recognized, rewarded, and developed further. This not only fuels our culture of innovation but also instills a sense of value and involvement among our employees.
- Culture Champions: Our ‘Culture Champions’ are the custodians of our unique culture. Chosen for embodying our values and their enthusiasm for promoting our ethos, they play a crucial role in sustaining and evolving our culture, keeping it vibrant and alive.
- Regular Cultural Health Checks: To ensure our culture remains robust and reflective of our collective aspirations, we conduct regular cultural health checks. These involve employee surveys, focus groups, and one-on-one interviews. The findings guide us in refining and fortifying our cultural practices.
