Deloitte UK has today been named in The Times Top 50 Employers for Gender Equality list for the ninth year running. The list, which is published in partnership with Business in the Community (BITC), recognised Deloitte as one of the top 50 organisations that continues to prioritise gender equality.
Deloitte in the UK continues to remain committed to offering our people flexibility in where and how they choose to work and our approach to hybrid working is an important part of how we support our people. We have expanded our Future Leaders Programme, launched in June 2022, to 1,000 people, aiming to improve the representation of women and underrepresented ethnic groups at all levels of our firm. This year’s Deloitte UK partner promotions saw 27 (33%) women being promoted, increasing the total number of Deloitte’s women partners to 412 (30%).
Jackie Henry, managing partner People and Purpose at Deloitte, said: “Our inclusion in The Times Top 50 Employers for Gender Equality list is an important recognition of our commitment to creating an inclusive workplace, where everyone can thrive at work. We recently announced that we’ve met our 2025 target for the number of women partners a year early - that’s something we’re really proud of, but of course the work doesn’t stop here. We will continue to hold ourselves accountable and to strive for greater gender equality.”
Over the past few years, Deloitte launched a series of new policies to support gender equality. This includes enhancements to parental leave, bereavement and baby loss, and a new menopause policy and community, alongside cover for assisted fertility treatment and gender dysphoria as part of the firm’s private medical insurance.
Charlotte Woodworth, Gender Equality Director at Business in the Community, said: “Being named as a Times Top 50 employer for gender equality demonstrates Deloitte’s commitment to driving a more equitable, inclusive world. But while the employers who made the list are doing great work prioritising gender equality, there is still more work to do. From addressing pay disparities to better supporting those with caring responsibilities, many employees, women among them, still face barriers to finding employment and progressing in their careers. It is every employer’s responsibility to play their part in reducing and removing gender inequalities from the workplace, and research shows this isn’t just the right thing to do, it also makes business sense.”
