HUMAN RESOURCE

PWCC HR DEPARTMENT

The PWCC’s HR department operates more as a Social Enterprise than a traditional corporate HR office. Its primary goal is empowerment, turning physical disability into athletic capability while providing a professional framework for players to represent Pakistan on the global stage.

While the PWCC operates independently, it often aligns its administrative standards with the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) and international disability sports frameworks.
