We might be about professional services, but it’s our down-to-earth, Kiwi culture that makes us stand out
Our Deloitte values inform and guide our wider collective behaviour as Deloitte member firms and unite us around the entire Deloitte network. They drive consistency in the way we behave, make decisions and go to market as we aim to make an impact that matters with our clients, our people and our wider communities.
You can only be your best when you can be yourself. You are welcome here. And more importantly, you’re welcome to stay true to yourself here. Because when our people get the respect they deserve, they get the chance to really make an impact. Respected employees are happier and more productive. We think it’s also the right way to do business. We work and think on the international level. Diversity is in our DNA. And we are proud of it. At Deloitte, we cherish and value everyone’s individuality and we strive for an open and inclusive culture.
We view diversity and inclusion as central to our ability to execute on strategy. Through our extensive research conducted by our Human Capital Consulting business, we know that at the intersection of diversity and inclusion lies an area rich with fresh, innovative ideas and creativity – which drives a better employee experience and ultimately – better outcomes.
We believe that creating and maintaining a culture of inclusion is the responsibility of all of us – “inclusion with us at the centre” – each of us brings something to diversity and equally, we all have a role to play in inclusion.
Respect and inclusion are core values at Deloitte and these are the responsibility of all our people from our CEO to our graduates.
At Deloitte, we have the tools to challenge conventions and explore new horizons. This is where we think and work together. We stay curious and look for innovative ideas. We ask every question and look deeper at complex matters. We change our perspective on things and embrace the unexpected. We are eager and we always keep striving for a higher level. We look at things from every angle to find the best solution. Are you ready to break the status quo and make an impact?
Deloitte is committed to supporting our people and we recognise the importance of flexibility. Whether it be to support family, volunteer, study, pursue sporting or other personal goals – the reason for wanting to work flexibly is different for each of us and likely to change as our personal circumstances do. Our ‘Lifestyle leave’ policy* helps support our people achieve balance in their lives by allowing people to purchase additional annual leave of up to 12 weeks a year to spend more time on the things important to them outside of work.
We appreciate the key to a family friendly workplace is a modern parental leave policy* which recognised the realities of parenting today and encourages and supports shared care, along with flexibility. This is in addition to our paid primary caregiver leave of 14 weeks. We aim to foster a more inclusive workplace by providing a generous paid partner leave entitlement of 8 weeks across a 2 year period so both parents have the opportunity to take time off with the arrival of child into the family. The policy recognises the role that the firm has to play, along with government and wider society, in reducing potential barriers to shared care.

Our objective
We want to encourage people to be confident in their identity and to ‘take pride in their stride’.

We want to bring new perspectives to the business and to help increase cultural competency. We want to create a support network for people and to encourage them to feel comfortable in their identities.
You could be part of a culture that promotes collaboration, leadership, and great results, made by awesome, smart people who don’t just come to work to earn a paycheck – they come to make an impact.
At Deloitte I feel excited to be part of a team of similar minded professionals where everyone is working to a larger common purpose. Deloitte invests in your professional development.
