Culture

Our people are our inspiration. We work in blended, multi-disciplinary teams, drawing on our collective knowledge to solve the world’s most complex challenges.

We know diversity provides our strength, so we enable our people’s growth through the variety of work we do – valuing both technical capability and breadth of experience. Most importantly, we’ve built an inclusive culture where everyone can bring their whole selves to work.

Life at PA

We focus on our people’s experience of being part of PA, shaping an inclusive culture that prizes diversity and wellbeing, recognises individual and team achievements, mentors and develops people, and allows everyone to bring their true self to work.

The mindset of ingenuity

For us, ingenuity is a mindset. Literally, it means clever, original and inventive. In day-to-day life, it sparks when we bring bright people and brilliant people together. It’s a powerful force that makes extraordinary ideas a reality.

As a team, we’re energised by our shared curiosity and pioneering spirit. And grounded by our deep care for our clients and each other. We come together, motivated by solving complex challenges and answering big questions, finding opportunities for our clients, their communities, and the wider world.

Our voice

Our people care passionately about the societal and cultural debates of our era. They contribute effort to thinking, writing, and debating these important topics. Their insights and experience take collective action further, in our team, with our clients, and in our communities.

The real reason we want diversity is because diversity in teams means diversity in thought, leading to more creativity, better work, better experiences and innovation. There’s still work to do to ensure everyone understands that."
