From the chairman's statement in the 2004 Annual Report:
"...Turnover in 2004 at just under ??1.6 billion was up by 4% (2003 down
by 7%). This increase included growth of some 16% in revenues from
companies we do not audit ?? a direct result of our decision to focus on
this area of the market...
...It is clear to me that our sustained success will be delivered only
by making PricewaterhouseCoopers a great place to work for all our
people. We want to create an environment where all our people get the
best development opportunities and training available anywhere, and the
right experiences to make them want to have a career with us. The key to
this is ensuring all our behaviours are in line with our policies.
Achieving this is a real challenge, but during the year we made good
progress, winning further awards for our leading-edge people policies.
Of course the acid test of all our policies is what our people think. We
ask them by means of our quarterly YouMatter survey. I am delighted to
say that 94% of respondents feel proud to be associated with
PricewaterhouseCoopers ?? extraordinarily high when compared with the
results of similar surveys at other organisations. We have also seen
positive trends in a number of other key indicators, which is an
excellent base on which to improve still further next year.
Last year I reported that work/life balance was an issue for our people,
so it was an issue for me. We have made some progress over the course of
the year, but we are not complacent, and will continue to make this a
priority until our people feel even better about it. We continue to
tackle the issue of diversity, recognising the value of variety in our
teams and leadership positions..."
