Black Experience

Four key focus areas aligned to the firm’s global shared values of fostering inclusion and taking care of each other.

The Deloitte Black Experience


The Deloitte Black Experience is an evolution of our Black Action Plan, which was launched in 2020. Centred around four key pillars – people experience, promotion, sponsorship, and partner experience – we continue to evolve our focus and approach to ensure targeted action and provide a consistent experience for our Black colleagues. Integral to this is listening to feedback from our Black Network and Ethnicity Council, and acting on insights from our biannual Engage for Change people experience survey and other employee listening channels.

Our Focus Areas

Enhancing the experience of Black colleagues, through community, engagement and visibility with senior leaders.

Recent highlights include:

  • Our second Black Experience Retreat – a unique opportunity for 100 of our Black colleagues (assistant manager to senior manager grade) to not only connect away from the workplace, but to take time to attend tailored workshops, hear from guest speakers, and focus on their career goals and aspirations.
  • A continued focus on wellbeing with tailored support sessions for our Black community. This recently included a session facilitated by a Black male therapist focusing on the unique challenges faced by Black men in the workplace.

Focusing on intentional, effective and impactful sponsorship for the Black pipeline for example, through our Future Leaders Programme.

Ensuring that there is fairness, transparency and equitable access to leadership roles and stretch opportunities.

Support Black partners in coming together for peer support and enhancing the experience of our Black partners.

What's next?


We’ve achieved a lot over the past four years, but we know there’s still much more to do. This is an ongoing journey – not a single year effort. Our priorities for the year ahead include:

  • Continuing to support our leaders, providing data and insights to hold them to account for ongoing progress towards our Black targets.
  • Continuing to develop our colleagues, track our progress against our targets and embed inclusive behaviours into our culture and ways of working.
