Some of our learning and development activities that supported winning the ASTD award include worldwide use of the Deloitte Learning Platform, utilization of the Deloitte Virtual Classroom, on-boarding programs for new and experienced hires, the application of the Global People Survey to assess people’s engagement, and the new program, Certified to Serve, which helps client-service professionals acclimate to new project teams.”
