What they mean to our people
"It is exciting to see KPMG's global leadership adopt 'Employer of Choice' as a strategic initiative. Succeeding in today's marketplace means we absolutely must recruit, retain, develop, advance, reward and recognize all of our people. Our firms’ clients and the marketplace demand it."Christine
Values in action
Working together to win an account through open and honest communication
When the U.S. firm bid for one of the largest wireless carriers in the country, it was clear that the client wanted to get to know the people who would be working day-to-day on the account. So rather than the partners it was five senior managers in the spotlight taking responsibility for the pitch.
We worked together right from the start, and this involved open communication between us so that we could quickly become a strong team. When it came to the big day, we were ready. We each knew each of our responsibilities, and our strengths and weaknesses. And we won.
