Lifelong Learning for all
FY24 has been an exciting and transformative year for the talent agenda. With new technological advancements and the introduction of a new storefront, Deloitte has continued to thrive in a dynamic and ever-changing business landscape. And to equip our people for this ever-changing world, this year has seen the creation and launch of our commitment to lifelong learning. It is also an agenda that we, as a firm, want to impact at societal level by collaborating with policy makers, universities and other educational organisations.
Fostering an inclusive culture
This year reminded us of how important it is to continuously foster a work culture where every talent feels psychologically safe. We have had to take a thorough look at our own culture and consider areas of improvement.
As a part of our work with building a more inclusive workplace, we have established a group of cultural ambassadors to advise our Executive team. This diverse group of talents plays a crucial role in helping the leadership team identify blind spots and build a more inclusive and safe culture where learning and development is central. We have also reassessed our whistleblower policy and procedures to ensure an independent and fair process for the people who have experienced unfair treatment.
Our engagement survey provides important input for how we can improve – and it also shows us where we are making progress. Starting from this year, we will conduct our employee engagement survey twice a year. This will help us understand where to put our focus to strengthen the wellbeing of our talents and solidify our leadership.
Deloitte is an amazing place to work – and a place where we celebrate diversity. This year’s Diversity & Inclusion Week gave us the opportunity to walk in the shoes of a colleague. As always, this week was organised in close collaboration with our employee network groups: Deloitte Muslim Network, Proud, Women’s Advisory Board, and the International Community. The week featured a panel debate, a charity dinner, and a celebration of the different cultures residing in our company.
We are extremely honoured and proud that we remain one of the most attractive employers among business students, ranking #3 in the Universum survey.
A lifelong learning experience
Learning is no longer limited to a degree. It is something that follows us throughout our entire life. It is a part of our human nature to be curious, whether you are a partner or business analyst. By introducing lifelong learning, we commit to developing our talents professionally and personally along their career. Therefore, we have officially launched 360 Develop – Centre for Lifelong Learning, which is our new central learning unit for all training in Deloitte Denmark.
We are dedicated to providing our talents with the opportunity to continuously grow. This means developing the skills, capabilities and mindset needed to succeed in their job and adapt and respond to today’s rapidly changing business environment in a responsible way.
360 Develop – Centre for Lifelong Learning provides the framework for doing so by offering personalised learning journeys, high-quality training and supporting a 360-degree learning experience for all talents in Deloitte Denmark. Through various training programmes, we aim to equip our talents with the tools and resources needed to deliver outstanding services to our clients, live our values, and make a positive impact on society. We still have work to do to lay out the different learning journeys, but the work is well under way.
Fully embedding lifelong learning at all levels is still a work in progress, and we are doing our best to make this vision come to life. It is not a one size fits all approach. But we believe that with hard work and with help from our talents, we can reach our goal of becoming the number one workplace, together. Our people have really embraced lifelong learning as a concept and our ambition to learn and grow together.
