Life at Deloitte

Our seven Signals are what make us unique, engaging, and successful – they are at the very heart of the Deloitte culture.

The Signals are an invaluable guide to positive behaviour and when taken as a whole, can profoundly change our capacity to act. They inform the way we do business, inspire us to draw strength from each other, and enable us to deliver outstanding value to our clients, market, and communities. The Signals are acknowledged as being not only about our time at Deloitte but also relevant throughout our entire professional lives.

Our Seven Signals:

 

 

Continuously grow and improve

We seek new challenges along with innovative ways of adapting to change, and commit to lifelong learning through the three G’s: Grow the Business, Grow the Team, and Grow Yourself. To do this we:

  • Continuously provide constructive feedback and act with the future in mind
  • Encourage our people to actively seek new challenges outside their areas of expertise
  • Embrace new ideas and are prepared to take risks
  • Actively coach, mentor and encourage creative thinking
  • Think laterally and contribute innovative ideas to drive the direction of our business.
  
         
 

Have fun and celebrate

We have fun at work, and celebrate our achievements and personal milestones, both big and small. To do this we:

  • Embrace a playful culture with a serious intent
  • Reward and recognise positive behaviour and successes
  • Encourage our colleagues to strive to produce their best work
  • Provide opportunities to contribute to the community
  • Celebrate the diversity of our people.
  
         
 

Aim to be famous

Deloitte’s differentiation rests on the diverse capabilities of our people. We aim to be famous, both individually and as a firm. To do this we:

  • Are known for deep specialisation within the marketplace
  • Focus on “we” rather than “I”
  • Develop and express a clear point of view
  • Acknowledge others’ fame
  • Relentlessly focus on results and improvements.
