Utmärkelsen "Best Multinational Consultancy to Work For" offentliggjordes i samband med prisutdelningen av 2011 EMEA SABRE Awards som hölls i Prag, Tjeckien, i förra veckan. Studien har genomförts av The Holmes Report. För oss på Prat PR som representerar Porter Novelli i Sverige, är samarbetet med ett globalt pr-nätverk givande på många sätt. Kanske främst möjligheten att få arbeta och inspireras av duktiga konsulter i andra länder, men också att vi har kunnat projektleda och genomföra en rad framgångsrika pr-kampanjer för våra kunder i länder som Frankrike, Tyskland, Norge, Danmark och Finland.

Best Multinational Consultancy to Work For: Porter Novelli One of the things that stands out about Porter Novelli is that while there is clearly a shared culture from office to office — one that is warm, friendly, and collaborative — there is also a high degree of local control when it comes to specific policies and practices.

So while professional development is centralized, with a new PN University (introduced in 2009) for mid-level executives and above supplementing the offerings of parent company Omnicom, many work-life benefits are decided locally, although in general the firm tends to be flexible in terms of working arrangements and generous with perks.

There’s clearly a feeling that the firm is on the rise: “I am really encouraged by the progress we have made in the past year,” says one respondent. “It feels like we have a much stronger grip on our business and we are at the start of an upturn in our fortunes.” And another insists: “I think we are underrated in the market place. We have some great talent, innovative thinking, great people and fantastic creativity but we are too modest to shout about it!”

Other Multinational Consultancies: Grayling, Edelman, Burson-Marsteller, Weber Shandwick
