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.
Deloitte Global has developed the "How would you feel?" immersive experiences to allow people to gain an imagined first-person perspective of how someone might experience their workday. Each five-minute module features actors bringing to life scenarios developed in consultation with people with lived experience. They are not based on actual events or people—either at Deloitte or in other workplaces—and they do not aim to represent the experience of every person with similar characteristics; instead, they are intended to offer insights into the types of experiences that some people in underrepresented groups may have in the workplace.
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 immerse themselves in someone else’s story to experience the world from a different point of view.
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.
We believe that an inclusive culture, underpinned at all times by respect, provides the foundation for a diverse and vibrant organisation—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.
