Deloitte has a rich history of cultivating a culture of inclusion in which all of its people have the opportunity to thrive.
From launching the first Women’s Initiative (WIN) in 1993 to the first woman chairman and the first Hispanic CEO of a large professional-services organization, Deloitte has achieved many important inclusion milestones. Today it boasts the first womn CEO, Cathy Engelbert, of any of the Big Four firms or large consultancies, and for the first time in the organization’s history, more than 50 percent of its recent incoming class of partners, principals and directors were women or minorities.
Deloitte’s inclusion efforts are inextricably linked to its overall talent strategy, enabling the organization to attract, develop and retain the best and brightest diverse talent. Recognizing that people are multi-dimensional, Deloitte has evolved its approach to inclusion in order to reflect the complexities of what makes individuals unique within the workplace. By looking beyond the traditional definitions of diversity (e.g., gender, race/ethnicity, LGBT, armed forces, disabilities), the organization is fostering a more holistic inclusive environment that encompasses generations, well-being and flexibility considerations.
