Inclusion at Deloitte
At Deloitte, we want everyone to feel they can be themselves and to thrive at work—in every country, in everything we do, every day.
We are committed to supporting and empowering all of our people in achieving their full potential. At Deloitte, we know how important it is that all our people can be their true, authentic selves at work and we are united against any form of social injustice.
Can you see me?
We created a series of films which tell individual stories from members of under-represented groups. While each character is fictional and played by an actor (who themselves has lived experience), their stories are an amalgam of real lived experience of people across workplaces. The films were created to help us all understand that we are all a sum of our parts and experiences—and that our words and actions have an impact on others. We want people to take a moment to walk in someone else’s shoes and to think.

We created a series of films which tell individual stories from members of under-represented groups. While the characters are fictional and are played by actors with similar lived experiences, the films represent the authentic stories of many people and were created to help us all understand that we are all a sum of our parts and experiences—and that our words and actions have an impact on others. We want people to take a moment to walk in someone else’s shoes and to think.

Stand up, speak up
We created a film, ‘Stand up, speak up’ to remind us that it’s up to all of us to be allies—even when it’s not easy. It challenges us all to use our voices and speak up. To be visible and vocal allies.
Respect and inclusion at Deloitte
We believe that an inclusive culture, underpinned at all times by respect, provides the foundation for a diverse and vibrant organization—we understand that providing this workplace environment for all our people is a long-term commitment. We also understand that diversity requires deliberate action when it comes to the way we work. Whether through embracing the power of allyship, or by making our processes more inclusive, we are taking clear and consistent action to achieve the aspirational diversity goals that we have set for ourselves.
Our Global Executive and Board have committed to a number of global diversity goals. Progress against these goals is measured through a formal assessment to hold leaders accountable for their focus and effort in delivering our global inclusion strategy. Using these measures, progress on diversity goals is discussed at Executive meetings on a regular basis.
