The Persistent Way Forward
Persistent's growth reflects the hard work and dedication of our 24,500+ global employees, driving more than $1.4 billion in annual revenue in FY25. At the heart of this is a culture that fosters employee engagement, empowerment, and equity, making Persistent a phenomenal place to work.
Our efforts have yielded an industry-leading employee retention benchmark, as well as prestigious recognitions and awards. Moving with purpose, we introduced experiential learning courses for career development across all employee levels, integrated an end-to-end digital employee navigation platform that streamlines onboarding, and launched a flagship project — SHEROES — designed to empower women to steer their careers in technology.
We view our diverse backgrounds and viewpoints as one of our greatest strengths. Promoting a culture that advances diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging, we celebrate team members who actively promote and embody our diverse spirit through their advocacy and actions. These leaders contribute to the education and awareness of colleagues and stakeholders, and demonstrate a commitment to our diversity principles throughout our global workforce, wherever they work and live.
