Gender Equality at FTI Consulting
FTI Consulting’s Women’s Initiative
Our International Women’s Initiative Network (WIN) holds internal and external events to reinforce our commitment to being an employer of choice for highly talented female professionals.
The WIN program offers mentorship and networking to empower female professionals to reach their highest potential and develop best-in-class leadership capabilities.
WIN is also supporting several female-related charities (e.g. Dress for Success, Share the Dignity, 4Voices, Small Steps 4 Hannah, and more) and raises funds or item donations for them. In September 2023, eight of our Brisbane-based team members will sleep in their car in support of The Forgotten Women’s Live Like Her Challenge, which FTI Consulting proudly sponsors.
How we support our female talent
Similar to other professional services firms, we have more work to do to reshape our pipelines in order to attract and retain top female talent.
We recognise this as an area of opportunity to improve through hiring, development and retention initiatives, and to support our aspirations we have introduced the following programs and policies:
- 18 weeks paid, gender-neutral parental leave with full superannuation contributions throughout paid and unpaid leave
- Hybrid work programs
- Our Executive Committee has committed to building three-year pipelines of potential female Senior Managing Director candidates so that we have a strong pool of talent for promotion
- Succession planning and hiring for Executive Committee roles must include qualified female candidates on the interview slate
- We offer talent development opportunities to increase the percentage of women in senior roles
- We commit to a 50/50 gender balance in graduate hiring
