Our culture
Our people
Our difference depends on the diverse, engaged, passionate, and experienced people who create our ideas and serve our clients.
At every level, we seek out those rare individuals who combine analytical rigor with broad vision and a human touch. We believe that increasingly complex challenges demand people with both deeper expertise and the ability to engage joyously across disciplines, lines of business, and borders.
Our values
We value exceptional people - people with intelligence, energy, passion, emotional sensitivity, and a commitment to excellence. We refuse to compromise by hiring those who do not meet our high standards. We believe that if we have common aspirations, a non-hierarchical environment based on respect, and no artificial barriers to advancement, then exceptional people will realize their potential.
Oliver Wyman for Society
Our impact
Oliver Wyman is comprised of thought leaders who enjoy working together. We select the best people for each project, regardless of where they are based. The result is a “dream team” of individual experts who are also gifted collaborators – across disciplines, and at every level in client organizations.
We only engage where we can add genuine value. Beyond tangible impact on clients’ top and bottom lines, the Oliver Wyman difference takes many forms. Here are some of the roles we play for clients, their industries, and the larger society:
Transforming Business and Society
Female leaders at Oliver Wyman are influencing at the highest level and driving real change on the most important issues of our time – from better healthcare, to advising on Brexit and guiding on the growing use of analytics. Each of these partners is having an impact on our client’s business and on society more broadly.
Diversity & inclusion
Inclusion and diversity is how we run the firm. From the CEO and leadership team’s engaged participation in our Inclusion Council, strong values shape our daily interactions, business strategies, and culture. We believe inclusion drives diversity, and diversity enables better business outcomes, for you and for our people. Oliver Wyman is convinced this is the right thing to do. And that it makes us collectively better, individually richer.
A culture where different people thrive. Together.
Our people feel confident that they can succeed at Oliver Wyman by being themselves, and are also clear that their diverse contribution is expected to produce the innovative solutions we offer to our clients. That is why our approach to I&D focuses on culture. We believe every dimension of diversity - including background, experiences, and thought – should be nourished and valued. We share this responsibility and work together to create the culture we want to live in.
