An update on our US workforce data

Our first 2021 DEI Transparency Report provided baseline workforce data to gauge our current state and identify clear areas of opportunity to prioritize in the years ahead. We continue to believe that transparency is critical to progress, and this section of the report includes refreshed metrics for FY2023 on our workforce composition. While data provides an overall snapshot of workforce demographics, we recognize that data points only capture a portion of the day-to-day experiences of our professionals.

Workforce representation

We believe that our workforce composition should reflect the diversity of the communities and clients that we serve. Representation remains a key metric to gauge the effectiveness of our equity and inclusion efforts.

Deloitte US workforce representation by job role (%)2

FY2023
2022 Report

We divide our workforce into two main categories: roles focused on client engagement (Client Service) and those that support Deloitte’s internal operations (Enabling Areas). Enabling Areas include critical departments such as Accounting, Finance, Marketing, the Office of General Counsel, Risk, and Talent. Since FY2022, we’ve seen the following changes in overall Client Service representation:

  • Multiracial representation increased 0.5 percentage points in Client Service roles (4.7% to 5.2%) and 1.2 percentage points in Enabling Areas (4.3% to 5.5%).
  • Black representation in Client Service roles decreased 0.5 percentage points (8.8% to 8.3%); however, representation increased in Enabling Areas 0.3 percentage points (10.5% to 10.8%).
  • Hispanic/Latinx representation increased 0.5 percentage points in Client Service roles (7.4% to 7.9%) and Enabling Areas 0.2 percentage points (9.1% to 9.3%).

Deloitte US workforce representation by level (%)

FY2023
2022 Report

  • There is a greater representation of multiracial, Black, and Hispanic/Latinx professionals at the senior/senior consultant, staff/consultant, and junior staff/analyst levels in comparison to overall representation, with lower representation in comparison to overall representation at higher levels. Support for the advancement of racially and/or ethnically diverse professionals — such as increased visibility and mentorship to support the advancement of junior professionals and the introduction and enhancement of inclusive leadership expectations at all levels of leadership — continues to be a key priority area.
  • Since FY2022, we have seen the following movement in representation:
    • Multiracial representation at staff/consultant level increased 0.9 percentage points (5.1% to 6.0%).
    • Asian representation at senior manager level increased 1.5 percentage points (24.5% to 26.0%).
    • Black representation at PPMD level increased 0.2 percentage points (2.4% to 2.6%).
    • Hispanic/Latinx representation at staff/analyst level increased 0.8 percentage points (9.5% to 10.3%).
    • Female representation increased 0.9 percentage points (29.4% to 30.3%) at PPMD level and increased 1.7 percentage points at manager level (41.7% to 43.4%).

Deloitte US workforce intern representation (%)

FY2023
2022 Report

Note: Intern graphs represent all interns who started their internship in that fiscal year.

  • Multiracial, Asian, Black, and Indigenous to the Americas intern representation increased since FY2022.
  • Female intern representation declined 3.4 percentage points since FY2022 (52.1% to 48.7%).
  • Representation of Black, Hispanic/Latinx, and female FY2023 interns is above FY2023 representation of junior staff/analysts, showing that the pipeline has the potential to increase representation for these identities.

Deloitte US workforce leadership representation (%)

FY2023
2022 Report

While we continue to make progress on increasing PPMD diversity, we acknowledge that are opportunities to increase the diversity of our US Board, Executive Leadership Team, client service leaders, and local managing partners. For our US Board and Executive Leadership Team, representation of some identities remains higher than overall US PPMD representation. We strive to achieve increased female and racial and ethnic diversity of our leadership and will continue to invest in developing a leadership pipeline and PPMD advancement programs to build leadership teams that better reflect the diversity of the greater Deloitte workforce.

  • Asian, Black, Middle Eastern/North African/Near Eastern, and Hispanic/Latinx representation in our Executive Leadership Team increased in FY2023.
  • US Client Service Leadership3 saw increased Asian, Black, Indigenous to the Americas, multiracial, and Hispanic/Latinx representation. Female representation also increased among this group 1.2 percentage points (24.2% to 25.4%).
  • Female representation in local managing partner leadership increased 4.5 percentage points (24.1% to 28.6%) while Asian representation increased 1.6 percentage points (1.9% to 3.5%).
  • The racial and/or ethnic diversity of the new class of PPMDs increased since FY2022 and was driven by increases in representation of new PPMDs who identify as Indigenous to the Americas (0.4% to 0.6%) and Middle Eastern/North African/Near Eastern (0.4% to 1.5%), and Hispanic/Latinx (4.4% to 4.5%).
  • With no Hispanic/Latinx representation on the US Board and limited representation on the Executive Leadership Team, increasing Hispanic/Latinx representation remains a priority.

FY2023 Deloitte US workforce race decomposition (%)

n=4,351

Note: Decomposition for 2+ races may add up to more than 100% because professionals can select more than one race option.

  • As reflected in the 2022 DEI Transparency Report, Asian professionals were previously able to select multiple Asian origins. As part of the FY2023 changes to Self-ID, professionals are now asked to select a single Asian origin under the Asian race. They can also indicate if they identify with multiple origins and can write in those origins in an open text field.
  • Since FY2022, we have seen increases in multiracial representation, with the highest being those who identify as White and another race.
  • 83.0% of Asian professionals (19,204) provided additional information about their racial identities. Of those who provided additional information, 25.5% identify as East Asian, 60.4% identify as South Asian, 12.5% identify as Southeast Asian, and 1.6% identify as multiple or other origins. Using this disaggregated data, we continue to refine our National Communities strategy and to better understand the nuanced experiences of our professionals.
  • Of the professionals who identified with indigenous categories, 61.6% identify as Indigenous Mexican or Central American (613), 16.0% identify as Indigenous South American (159), and 22.4% identify as Native American, Alaska Native or First Nations (223). In total, 995 professionals provided data within these three Indigenous subcategories.

Deloitte US workforce representation by generation (%)4

FY2023
2022 Report

  • The current Deloitte US workforce spans four generations with millennials representing more than half of our workforce (55.8%).
  • Millennials and Generation Z together represent 74.2% of the Deloitte US workforce.
  • Millennials represent 53.5% at senior manager level, an increase of 5.6 percentage points since our FY2022 report (47.9% to 53.5%).
  • 72.4% of the PPMD population identifies as Generation X.
  • Generation Z representation is greatest at the junior staff/analyst level.
  • Millennials, Generation X, and baby boomers are represented at all levels of the organization.
  1. On the use of sex and gender: In this report, our goals and workforce data reflect sex because gender self-identification was not available at the time we established the goals in 2020. We recognize that not all people’s gender identities match their sex assigned at birth. In 2021, we launched new gender fields in addition to sex, with expanded self-identification options to reflect a wider array of gender identities. Goals and associated workforce data will be revisited during the refresh process. 
  2. Job role representation does not include PPMD representation. 
  3. Client Service Leadership: Lead Client Service Partners (LCSPs) and Lead Business Partners (LBPs). 
  4. Baby boomer: 1946–1964; Generation X: 1965–1980; Millennial: 1981–1996; Generation Z: 1997–2012. 

Deloitte US workforce representation across Self-ID dimensions

The 2022 DEI Transparency Report included additional representation data that shows gender identity and the intersection of professionals who identify as LGBTQIA+, veterans, and people with disabilities with race, ethnicity, gender, and sex data. These expanded views in addition to workforce composition by level for these identities continue to provide additional insight into the composition of our organization. Increases or decreases to workforce distribution by level could be influenced by overall changes in headcount or representation by level.

n=3,234

  • Veteran representation decreased from 4.9% in FY2022 to 3.8% in FY2023; however, the number of veterans increased by 106 professionals.
  • The drop in veteran representation can be largely attributed to an overall increase in the number of professionals who self-identified this year, most of whom do not identify as a veteran.
  • The percentage of veterans who are at the PPMD level decreased 0.2 percentage points in FY2023 (5.7% to 5.5%).
  • The percentage of veterans who are at the senior manager level increased 0.9 percentage points in FY2023 (13.4% to 14.3%).

  • The representation of each veteran identity decreased from FY2023, mostly driven by the increase in the baseline population used to define representation.
  • Consistent with FY2022, the largest representation of veterans are armed forces veterans (greater than 3 years from separation), who represent 2.2% of our workforce.

Intersectionality

The day-to-day experiences of our people are influenced by their individual backgrounds and how these identities combine and overlap. The data below offers a closer look at representation by sex, race, and ethnicity.

Deloitte US workforce intersectional data (%)

  • Consistent with overall female representation growth in FY2023, female representation within many race identities increased while male representation decreased:
