Deloitte Middle East is committed to our people. We believe in nurturing an environment where talent thrives, empowering our individuals to reach their full potential. Throughout the year, Deloitte Middle East has worked towards enhancing our people's experience by tailoring programs and reviewing practices to enable our teams. By upholding our shared values, we prioritize respect, well-being, inclusion, and equity at every level.
Aligned with our commitment to providing well-being support that promotes healthy work-life harmony, Deloitte Middle East launched Returnity, a signature program under the Growth Leadership Opportunity for Women (GLOW) strategy. This initiative is designed to support women’s engagement, development, and retention at pivotal moments in their careers across all our business areas.
The Returnity program is a 16-week transition initiative that provides parents with flexible, consistent support throughout their entire parental leave journey. The program offers a customizable “Return plan” which serves as a menu of resources, including wellbeing counseling, mentorship and buddy system, flexible working arrangements, phased return, and career trajectory consultations. While this program is focused on women returning from leave, Returnity is open and available for all returning parents.
"Having a Returnship frame allowed me to have a say in how I returned to work from maternity leave, giving me the flexibility and support needed to balance my work and family commitments through a tailored return plan. I truly believe that the new Returnity program will transform the way parents can transition back to work.” - Marianna Alvarez De Toledo
Today, new parents at Deloitte Middle East can benefit from the flexibility and support that aids them in their career journeys and well-being as they balance family and professional responsibilities. Returnity exemplifies Deloitte’s dedication to fostering an inclusive and supportive workplace that enable our people to thrive at every life stage.
