Deloitte leaders strive to make women’s equity the norm across the organization. We have set aspirational goals for all Deloitte firms and have developed consistent initiatives spanning the entire career lifecycle—from recruitment, promotion, and succession processes to mentoring, sponsorship, and agile working. Deloitte firm CEOs have committed to deliver on these initiatives and report progress to the Deloitte Global CEO, Deloitte Global Executive, and Deloitte Global Board of Directors on a regular basis.

We believe that supporting mental health is a critical element for attracting and retaining the best people. We recognize the importance of mental wellbeing in the workplace and the need for our people to know where and how to seek support when they are facing challenges. We also know how important it is for Deloitte leaders to be vocal on mental health when it comes to providing a work environment that is free of stigma. To help deliver on its commitment to workplace mental health, Deloitte has introduced a Global Mental Health Baseline—comprising a number of actions that it expects to be taken in every country where it operates.

Deloitte is proud to be a founding partner of the Global Business Collaboration for Better Workplace Mental Health, a global business-led coalition whose mission is to both advocate for and accelerate positive change for mental health in the workplace on a global basis.

Deloitte’s global approach to disability inclusion is built upon the ‘social model’ in that people are disabled only by the social and physical environment around them. We are thus focused on providing a workplace environment in which our people can thrive—this includes providing tools and resources to help enable our people to reach their full career potential. It also means educating colleagues on disability inclusion and providing resources for matters such as returning to work.

In 2023, Deloitte proudly signed the International Labour Organization (ILO)’s Global Business and Disability Network Charter which provides a comprehensive framework to help organizations achieve business success while simultaneously creating equal opportunities for people with disabilities. Deloitte Global is focused on actions across the career life cycle—from hiring, workplace culture and environment and to career development—that are aligned to the 10 principles within this charter.

At Deloitte, we recognize that everyone has personal strengths and things they struggle with, but for some people the variation between those strengths and challenges is more pronounced. Neurodiversity—also referred to as neurodivergence—is about the diversity of human minds; the range of differences in the ways people’s brains function and process information. Neurodiversity inclusion embraces and welcomes these differences and recognizes that people who think in different ways bring strengths and advantages.

Deloitte’s global neurodiversity inclusion strategy focuses on enablers of neurodivergent professionals’ success in the workplace across their entire career life cycle.

Our shared values at Deloitte include, “Take care of each other” and “Foster inclusion.” One of the ways we bring those shared values to life is by promoting allyship, which means visibly and vocally standing up for the rights of others, addressing bias and unacceptable behavior—and encouraging people to use their voice to effect change. It goes far beyond expressing passive support—it is a long-term commitment to advocate for others.
