Why It’s on the List
In the most competitive industry for diversity management, professional services, KPMG continues to improve. The firm has put a strong emphasis on developing a future pipeline of talent and is in the seventh year of its Future Diversity Leaders Program, which identifies diverse high-performing students who may eventually matriculate into full-time employment at KPMG. They are mentored by KPMG partners and employees and are eligible for scholarships. KPMG also started and continues to be a major supporter of The PhD Project. Internally, the emphasis has been on retention, talent development and promotion. The Key Account Rotation program targets Black, Latino, American Indian and Asian associates to expose them to a broad range of clients. The program is being expanded to employees who self-identify as LGBT. The Managing Career/Life Choices program is aimed at senior-associate women. KPMG has also been focusing on sponsorship through its Leaders Engaging Leaders program. Diversity is factored into succession planning, and senior executives are held accountable for sustainable results. KPMG has outstanding resource groups, with 40 percent of employees participating in at least one group. |
