Connecting our Employees

Through Our Employee Business Resource Groups

Employee Business Resource Groups (EBRGs)

PNC employees bring diversity and inclusion goals to life through EBRGs. EBRGs are unique groups composed mostly of employees who share a common dimension of diversity, such as gender, sexual orientation, heritage or military service, among others.

These groups welcome all PNC employees in an effort to share their backgrounds and experiences with one another. EBRGs offer participants opportunities to network, communicate, and progress personally and professionally. Members also work closely with senior executives to implement business opportunities they have identified and initiatives recommended by their groups.

The Asian-American EBRG is much more than just a fun sushi-rolling class or tea-tasting event. It provides PNC employees with a tangible perspective into various Asian cultures, which in turn, helps us to genuinely connect with each other, our clients and our diverse communities where we do business.

- Shinik Patel | President, Asian-American EBRG, Eastern Carolinas

The broader message to derive from events such as these is quite simply that diversity and inclusion is vital to every aspect of our organization’s success, whether as a resource to cultivate meaningful professional relationships within the organization, further employee engagement or leverage as a strategic sales tool. The measure of success involves PNC employees being intentional about consistently incorporating diversity and inclusion into their professional activities and individualized development plans.

- Vik Venkataraman | President, Asian-American EBRG, New Jersey

It is the policy of The PNC Financial Services Group, Inc. ("PNC") to affirmatively implement equal opportunity to all qualified applicants and existing employees without regard to race, color, religion, national origin, gender, sexual orientation, gender identity/expression, age, ancestry, marital status, genetic information, family medical history, disability, protected veteran status, or any other basis that would be in violation of any applicable ordinance or law. Protected veterans include disabled veterans, active duty wartime or campaign badge veterans, recently separated veterans and Armed Forces service medal veterans. All aspects of employment including recruitment, selection, hiring, training, transfer, promotion, termination, compensation, and benefits conform to this basic policy in order to further the principles of equal employment opportunity and affirmative action.

PNC's Equal Employment Policy is consistent with the requirements and objectives set forth in Executive Order 11246, Section 503 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, and the Vietnam Era Veterans Readjustment Assistance Act of 1974 (VEVRAA), all as amended.

Affirmative Action Plans and processes have been developed and implemented throughout PNC to ensure that good faith efforts are made to provide equal employment opportunity to every employee and qualified potential employee and to formalize and reaffirm PNC's commitment to equal opportunity employment. 

PNC's objectives are to establish realistic goals and implement programs to actively recruit, promote, and provide career opportunities for qualified minorities, women, and individuals with disabilities, and protected veterans. PNC has developed internal audit procedures to monitor the development, implementation, and progress of our objectives. Our overall goal is to recruit, hire, and maintain a culturally diverse workforce that can work to its fullest potential and provide PNC with a competitive advantage in the marketplace.

PNC's employees and applicants will not be subject to intimidation and/or harassment because they have engaged in or may engage in any of the following activities: filing a complaint; assisting or participating in an investigation; opposing any act or practice made unlawful by the provisions of Executive Order 11246, VEVRAA or Section 503; or exercising any other right protected by these laws.

Summaries of PNC's Affirmative Action Plan(s) are available for review. To schedule an appointment, please contact Diversity & Inclusion at 412-762-0381, Monday through Friday from 9:00 a.m. – 4:00 p.m.
