With over 7500 employees, Deloitte is one of Canada’s leading professional services firms. It provides audit, tax, financial advisory and consulting services throughout the country. This year, as part of their commitment to workforce diversity, they held a series of roundtable discussions, “Dialogue on Diversity”, in six major cities - to discuss the role the business community can play in addressing the issues facing people with disabilities. From those discussions, they published the 20-page report.
“I hope that the ideas that come out of this white paper will add another voice to the discussion and reinforce the importance of celebrating all aspects of diversity in Canadian business,” says Jane Allen, partner and Chief Diversity Officer.
