Elevate program
Fostering an inclusive workplace means building a culture that focuses on abilities and skills. Elevate is one of the one of the many ways we strive to create opportunities and attract talented individuals from diverse backgrounds.
2SLGBTQIA+ professionals
Inclusion matters. For us, Pride goes beyond one month a year; it’s eternal.
Bringing your authentic self to work isn’t a privilege; it’s a right. We strive to ensure our 2SLGBTQIA+ colleagues feel seen, heard, and empowered to be uniquely themselves.
In helping our 2SLGBTQIA+ people thrive, we drive a plethora of initiatives around policy, talent, community collaborations, social events, education, and more.
Mentorship
Our internal Pride Mentorship Program actively connects 2SLGBTQIA+ individuals with senior leadership to support and empower folks in bringing their whole selves to work and reaching their maximum potential. The option for reverse mentorship is also available.
Gender-affirming benefits and policies
On June 1, 2022, Deloitte launched firm-funded health care benefits for trans identifying employees (as well as dependents and spouses) valued at $100K to support gender-affirmation needs. This is coupled with our refreshed Gender Affirmation Guidelines for leaders and colleagues. We also offer competitive maternity, parental, surrogacy, and adoption financial support.
Allyship training
With a focus on removing barriers for our 2SLGBTQIA+ community (and beyond), we mandate in-person allyship training for leaders and virtual training for all other employees.
The Deloitte Pride Community
The Deloitte Pride Community provides an inclusive environment for Two-Spirit, lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer (2SLGBTQIA+) and ally practitioners across Canada and Chile. Deloitte Pride creates a safe space where people can connect with other community members. The objective of our group is to raise awareness on 2SLGBTQIA+ issues, educate, bridge gaps, strengthen relationships, enhance visibility, and develop and maintain relationships with 2SLGBTQIA+ individuals within the firm and in our broader communities.
Interactive panels
Across a variety of topics, we engage with leaders and co-workers throughout the year to celebrate, support the community, and educate allies. Recurring themes include International Day of Pink, Transgender Day of Remembrance, understanding pronouns and utilizing them in digital signatures, and introductions on calls, Pride season, and coming out stories.
Community engagement
We’re committed to showing up for our Pride community not only within our own walls, but within the communities we serve as well. These partnerships include:
- Pride at Work Canada: As a proud collaborator of Pride at Work Canada, we work with its team to establish a safer, more inclusive workplace that recognizes the skills of 2SLGBTQIA+ talent.
- Rainbow Railroad: Rainbow Railroad is a global not-for-profit aiming to protect and relocate at-risk 2SLGBTQIA+ individuals. We host fundraisers and offer hands-on support work to help scale its impact.
- The Get REAL Movement: From online workshops to in-person career fairs, we work with Get REAL to provide role models for the younger folks in our 2SLGBTQIA+ community.
- Start Proud: We participate in Start Proud’s annual Out on Bay Street Conference for aspiring young professionals, hosting its Leaders to Be Proud of Awards ceremony.
By focusing on these activities, Deloitte is committed to driving meaningful change and fostering an inclusive environment for 2SLGBTQIA+ professionals and communities.
