As the Human Capital Leader of PwC, Penny Partridge sees her role as a business advisor—partnering with the leadership team and helping the organization meet its objectives from a business and people perspective.
Since starting her career at PwC after earning a bachelor of commerce degree, Partridge has remained involved in the people side of the business. As the current Human Capital Leader—the first from HR to assume this position—she ensures that her senior HR leaders are at the table, are part of the leadership teams, and that her team is integrated with the organization’s business leadership.
Being directly involved in business strategy and planning ensures not only that people priorities are embedded in the business plan, but that they are fully integrated and aligned to the organization’s business goals. By looking at HR as a consulting business, Partridge is able to provide a clear value proposition to the organization.
