International Women's Day

Deloitte is proud to support International Women's Day 2008

We have made significant progress with our talent agenda over the last 12 months. Our dedicated talent partner reports to the Executive on a range of people-related measures as we strive to ensure that everyone enjoys the best possible career opportunities, reward and recognition.

Engaging our people is vital to us and we communicate through a number of mechanisms that include our annual People Survey, roadshows and formal feedback processes. Our well-established 'Connections' programme brings together over 200 partners in structured conversations about the firm's strategy with managers and senior managers from outside of their own area of business.

What our people think of us
Each year we conduct a survey of commitment levels and seek feedback from our people about what is important to them. For the second year running commitment levels have increased across all parts of the business and at all grades of staff:
- 80% of our people participated in our annual People Survey, up from 77% last year and 57% two years ago
- 89% of our people strongly believe Deloitte is a client-focused firm (88% in 2005)
- for the second year running, 93% of our people would recommend Deloitte to clients
- 82% of our people are proud to tell others they are a part of Deloitte, up from 77% in 2005
