Deloitte Malaysia continues to embrace talent diversity where the firm is home to professionals from 28 different nationalities making up about 7% of our total staffing. As part of supporting national agenda to develop professionally qualified talents, Deloitte Malaysia is also made up of 25% bumiputera talent .

Women Empowerment Strategy
The ALL IN Strategy aims to accelerate representation of women in leadership roles with the primary objective of championing greater gender diversity at every level in the workplace through the three pillars below which we believe are critical to success:

Learning & Development

Employee Mobility
As part of a global network of member firms, Deloitte staff have the opportunity to work across borders not just within the region, but also across other global offices. Staff who have consistently performed will have the opportunity to go on secondments which can range anywhere between 6 months up to 2 years. In times of the pandemic, where travel is not possible, secondment opportunities still continue with virtual mobility. International transfers are also available with similar conditions.

Inter-Business Transfers
The shifting of an employee from one job to another (either the same or different career level) for an indefinite period within or intra SEA Practice Offices. The Firm recognizes that opportunities to assume roles that are well suited to personal aspirations and interests enhance the motivation, productivity, and retention of our people. The Firm offers and encourages transfer opportunities for current employees. Business leaders are supportive of staff who have the desire to enhance their skills or develop new competencies to pursue different or greater responsibilities internally.

aDvance app provides users with a convenient platform to mark attendance during training, while also doing pre-work, sharing views of a particular workshop or providing survey feedback of a completed session. Cura is a dynamic technology-enabled learning platform that uses artificial intelligence to provide our talents with internal and external content which will help them in learning and upskilling.
