Our Board Embraces the Power of Diversity to Contribute to PSI’s Work Around the World
The PSI Board of Directors endorses PSI’s commitments to diversity, equity and inclusion in its work and workplace, and is committed to being a diverse and representative institution of governance. It is the policy of the PSI Board to promote and ensure diversity among its ranks. Through the work of the Board Nominating & Governance Committee, Board composition is continually reviewed, monitored and assessed. The Committee utilizes tools to catalog the intersecting contributions of current Board members – gender, race, age, geographic location, background, sector, skillset and other valued attributes – and actively aligns any necessary rebalancing to ongoing recruitment efforts. The Committee ensures that its recommendations on the appointments of new directors continuously contributes to enhanced representation of thought on the Board and aligns with the diverse nature of PSI’s work.

With overarching commitments to flexibility in our work, and greater wellbeing for our employees, we want to ensure PSI is positioned for success with a global and holistic view of talent. Under our new “work from (almost) anywhere,” or “WFAA” philosophy, we are making the necessary investments to be an employer of record in more than half of U.S. states, and consider the U.S. as one single labor market for salary purposes. Globally, we recognize the need to compete for talent everywhere; we maintain a talent center in Nairobi and a mini-hub in Abidjan. PSI also already works with our Dutch-based European partner, PSI Europe, and we’re creating a virtual talent center in the UK.
