Our core values

Our success as a consulting firm is founded on a set of core values that drive the way we behave with clients and each other.

At all times, PA people are:

Passionate about people

We are proud to be part of a team of brilliant people - our firm's most prized asset. We are passionate about supporting each other in our continued growth to fulfil our ambitions.

Inspired by client value

We are committed to creating visible and sustained value for our clients. We are proud of our clients and what they think of us; we build long lasting relationships with our clients, responding to and anticipating their needs.

Achieving success through shared endeavours

We work collaboratively in diverse teams, shoulder-to-shoulder with our clients. We achieve more together than we could alone.

Prizing our ethical approach

We are independent and prize our integrity and honesty. We strive to do "the right thing" rather than "the easy thing" which guides us through the responsibility of day-to-day activities, and through our most difficult challenges.

Seeking to excel

We seek to excel in everything we do. We aspire to continually enhance our learning; we are ambitious to grow our innovation and insight.

Creating commercial success

We are employee-owned and proud of what we are worth to our clients. We take personal responsibility for our commercial success, sharing and reinvesting our rewards.

Corporate social responsibility

Corporate social responsibility is intrinsically linked to our core business values and we believe that being a socially responsible business makes good business sense. We are making a difference in this critical area of the economy and society, both within PA and when working with our clients. Read more on our CSR.

Volunteering

PA’s Giving Back and Volunteering scheme reflects the strong desire among many people to take part in activities or actions which contribute something to meet the needs of wider society.

Generally, the best way that PA can support social causes is through the time and skills of our employees. Staff members who are interested in committing time to a socially worthwhile cause are able to spend up to three days a year on an eligible project, providing that the commitment can be managed around client commitments/administrative duties. Interested staff can either nominate a cause that they would like to work for or apply to join a pro bono project that PA has established.

For example, a few employees based out of the Arlington, Virginia, office, volunteer at a local homeless shelter called Miriam’s Kitchen, whose main focus is to provide nutritional meals, case management, mental health and addiction services as well as housing support to more than 2,000 homeless people in the Washington, DC area.
