Employee Engagement

Our communities are not simply places where we do business. They are home to our employees and our customers. At PNC we're committed to making a difference in these communities, not only with our products and services, but with our time. We share our employees’ passion for their communities and support that passion by empowering volunteerism and participation in our volunteer grant program.

Engaging our Employees

We apply employee engagement feedback to facilitate informed decision-making regarding policies, methods and supportive, relevant resources. This iterative process ensures that implemented changes are not only substantive for our businesses but also resonate meaningfully with our employees. Employee engagement surveys measure an employee’s likelihood of recommending PNC as an employer and ask specific questions to understand perceptions of opportunities for career growth, development and inclusive culture.

Brilliantly Supporting All of Our Stakeholders

We strive to manage our business responsibly and to do right by all our constituents. We make fact-based decisions guided by our established risk appetite and by what is in the best interests of our customers, our employees, our communities and our shareholders.

PNC Grow Up Great®

High-quality early childhood education is the very foundation of a bright future for individuals and society at large. We recognize the significant role educators, caregivers and parents play in early childhood education. That’s why we’re committed to supporting educators and caregivers in giving children the opportunity to Grow Up Great. 

Since 2004, we’ve supported early childhood education through our $500 million, multi-year, bilingual initiative, PNC Grow Up Great®. Our goal is to help prepare children from birth to age five for success in school and in life, with particular emphasis on under-served communities. Through a comprehensive approach of grant funding, employee volunteerism, and awareness and advocacy efforts, PNC Grow Up Great supports families, educators and community partners in providing innovative opportunities that enhance learning and development for our youngest community members, setting a path for success that lasts a lifetime.

Pro Bono Project

PNC Legal Department’s Pro Bono Project offers PNC attorneys and legal professionals an opportunity to provide free legal services to individuals and organizations in their local communities who need, but cannot afford, legal assistance. The program enables PNC attorneys and legal professionals to develop new skills and fulfill practice requirements by working with local legal service providers to do good for the community. 

Skills-based Volunteerism

PNC encourages employees to leverage their talents to assist the growth and development of nonprofit organizations and their programs. Skills-based volunteerism helps non-profits address issues that they otherwise would not be able to accomplish due to limited resources. While beneficial to the nonprofit organizations, this volunteerism also helps PNC employees develop stronger professional skills and prepare them for leadership roles.

Our employees serve on community boards and committees to share their skills in areas such as data analysis and strategic planning. According to community partners, our employees provide highly valued support to those who need it most.
