Yesterday evening, Protiviti had the honor of attending Consulting magazine’s 1stAnnual “Excellence in Social and Community Investment Awards Ceremony” to receive an award for our Inaugural U.S. Intern Day of Service, which occurred on July 11, 2014. I had the privilege to be able to attend this event on behalf of the Campus Recruiting Team, and it was very inspiring to hear all the amazing work that companies within our industry are doing with not-for-profit organizations.
There to accept the award was our CEO, Joe Tarantino, who spoke about our dedication as a firm to social responsibility. You may not know, but the name Protiviti was formed by combining some of the core values that are most important to the Protiviti family: professionalism, productivity, proactivity, objectivity, creativity, integrity, quality, and last but certainly not least responsibility! Joe elaborated on our commitment to social responsibility and our continual efforts as firm to get involved further with our communities.
