AGILE WORKING

Supporting our people to thrive

Life is about more than work. We believe it's important for everyone to balance their career with other priorities like family, friends, travel and hobbies. That's why we provide an agile, flexible working environment.

Agile working

Our approach to agile working is underpinned by three simple principles – trust and respect; open and honest communication, and judging solely on output. We offer formal and informal agile arrangements – the key is that this works for both the individual and the business.

Annualised Days

Our Annualised Days working option enables our people to have an irregular working pattern throughout the year – you could work on a seasonal basis for example, or work only during term-time, with the latter making it particularly attractive to working parents.

Time Out

Deloitte’s Time Out scheme enables employees to take a four-week period of unpaid leave once a year, for any reason, at a time that suits them and the business. Our aim is to ensure that all our people are able to balance their lives outside work with a successful and fulfilling career.

Family friendly policies

Our Working Parents Transitions Programme helps our parents and their team leaders to manage the transition into parenthood as smoothly as possible, whether they are a first-time parent or adding to their family. We also support carers at Deloitte, ensuring that people can work flexibly when needed.

Connect with others

Through our diversity networks you'll be able to connect with clients and the community. It’s where you can find support among your ‘affinity group’, whether gender, race, religion, sexual orientation, disability, or parenting or caring responsibilities. More than 7,000 members catch up regularly.

Wellbeing

We are committed to offering an environment which supports both the mental and physical wellbeing of our people. We have multiple forms of support in place for you to access as well as a variety of professionally trained networks dedicated to supporting each individual and their wellbeing within the workplace, and beyond.

Your Work, Your Way

Our hybrid working approach is to give you flexibility in where, when and how you work. Hybrid working allows you and your teams to have flexibility and control in how you work across client sites, Deloitte offices and at home.

It’s designed to give you the freedom to make the right choices when deciding how to deliver your best work, for you, your teams and your clients. We’ll also ensure that hybrid working offers you the same opportunities we have always prioritised, including the ability to grow, collaborate and learn.

Our hybrid ways of working enable you to:

Spend time at our clients’ offices to understand their needs, collaborate on project work and build relationships.
Use the office to collaborate with colleagues, strengthen your relationships, undertake face-to-face training, or mark moments that matter.
Undertake more individual, focused work, virtual/hybrid collaboration and online learning from home, or another suitable base.

It’s your work, your way.

If you apply for a role, please speak to your recruiter or hiring manager to discuss hybrid working and how it could work for you.

Our WorkAgility framework

Deloitte is committed to developing working practices through a combination of formal and informal arrangements, that support agility in terms of where, when and how we work.

With the right consideration given to individual needs, those of the team and the nature of the work, our WorkAgility framework provides a platform for our people to consider a blend of day to day actions and formal options, which help them to manage the balance between demanding personal and professional priorities.

Our approach is underpinned by three principles: trust and respect; focus on output (not presenteeism); and open two-way communication.

Our Family-friendly Policies

We offer a range of benefits and support to our working parents and carers. Below is a summary of the key things we do. We hope this answers any questions you may have, but we are very happy to discuss further with you.

After a qualifying period, we offer an enhanced level of pay during the various types of parenting leave, as set out below.

Maternity, adoption and surrogacy leave

16 weeks at full salary*
10 weeks at 50% of full salary* (or statutory pay, if higher)
13 weeks at statutory pay

Paternity leave

Full salary* for the 4 week paternity leave period

Shared Parental leave

Our enhanced pay for shared parental leave is equal to the enhanced pay we offer at the equivalent point during maternity, adoption and surrogacy leave.

Anyone taking parenting leave will continue to receive their benefits allowance and/or any selected flexible benefits for the duration of their leave. For more information on the benefits available at Deloitte, click here.

*salary means normal salary earned during a reference period after any deductions for salary sacrifice arrangements, such as pension contributions or flexible benefits.

Mothers and adopters and intended parents under surrogacy arrangements have a right to paid time off for ante-natal, adoption and other related appointments. In addition we offer all fathers, partners and intended parents through surrogacy (regardless of gender) paid leave to accompany their partner to two appointments. If someone wants to attend more than two appointments then arrangements can be made with their line manager, for example by using our agile working approach.

If a parent’s primary childcare arrangements have fallen through unexpectedly we provide emergency back-up childcare, for example: a day at nursery, a childminder, holiday club or nanny/home carer. We offer 5 fully-subsidised and 5 part-subsidised sessions per year.

Deloitte’s Working Families network connects parents, prospective parents and carers across the firm so they can share best practices, resources, ideas, information, and sometimes just simply swap stories.

Proud at Deloitte Families is a support network for the whole spectrum of LGBTQ+ families at Deloitte including:

Employees with LGBT+ family members (children, siblings, parents)
LGBTQ+ parents
LGBTQ+ colleagues considering growing their family

Our 24/7 external Advice Line provides free confidential and independent support and advice for all our people, partners and their immediate families.

We have a leadership programme focussed on senior managers and directors from an ethnic minority background, which aims to build a network and facilitate the career development of those in the programme to prepare them for future leadership roles.

How does Deloitte support your voluntary work and mentoring roles?

Deloitte supports people to volunteer with charities of their choice, and you can work with non-profit organisations for 3.5 hours a month during your usual hours. As part of the commitment to supporting local communities, we run the 5 Million Futures Programme, which aims to help five million people get to where they want to be through access to education and employment. Our people are supported to volunteer so that we can work together and make positive change happen. Since joining Deloitte three and a half years ago, I’ve also become a mentor for a new joiner on my team and I offer informal coaching to one of our colleagues in Deloitte South Africa. In many ways I am very fortunate, as I have parents who were both my role models and heroes. I was also lucky enough to have a good education, all of which I think has played a part in getting me to where I am today. Not everyone is so lucky, so naturally when I get the opportunity to give something back, I jump at the chance.

My nieces often ask me exactly what I do. I tell them that I help organisations to transform their business when they don’t have the right specialist skills, resources or experience.

How does Deloitte help to support your wellbeing and make you feel included?

When the pandemic hit in 2020, the firm immediately recognised the impact it would have on mental wellbeing. They implemented a range of mechanisms to help, from online classes (fitness, dance and cooking) to a ‘daylight hour’, which really helped me get through the anxiety. We also have a Mental Health Champions Network on hand to help people whenever they feel like they need a bit of extra support.

One of the things that makes me most proud to work at Deloitte is our: ‘bring your whole self to work’ motto. It encourages everyone to feel comfortable in their own skin in the workplace, so that individuals can be accepted and celebrated for who they are. I believe that when people can be themselves, that’s when you can truly nurture potential and enable them to perform to the best of their abilities.
