Building a culture of Inclusion, Diversity and Equity (IDE): KPMG in India

Inclusion and diversity are both a business and moral imperative that builds trust and compels us to stand up for what is right. Diverse teams are more likely to be innovative and marketable. Also, inclusive work cultures that embrace ethical behaviour, position themselves for success. Our determination is to create the best working environment possible for our colleagues, enabling them to thrive and develop, while furthering our commitment to foster diversity and inclusion at the Firm.

What spurs the I&D goals of the company?

With growing diverse mix of highly talented pool of people, has come our first learning - that Inclusion, Diversity and Equity (IDE) plans cannot be a 'one-size-fits all'. So, we started our journey with a deep analysis of our current organizational structure through a self-critical lens to identify the weak links and areas that needed immediate attention, followed by customized interventions which are now being monitored for tangible outcomes. It means creating a diverse and inclusive work environment which we believe is everyone's responsibility.

What are the offbeat interventions of KPMG in the I&D space?
