Each year, Deloitte Luxembourg extends an invitation to a number of business schools and universities across Europe with the objective to gather fresh perspectives on the topic of gender balance within the corporate sphere. With diversity and inclusion high on Deloitte Luxembourg’s agenda, participants were asked to suggest a solution to the following challenges: the first, “how to make audit, tax and consulting careers more appealing to young female students” and secondly, “how to improve the retention of female professionals and ensure gender balance at all grades.”
“We understand the significance of connecting with these young women. We want to hear their views and learn how to meet the expectations of today’s young female professionals. The participants give us the opportunity to consider and implement creative and original ideas addressing the question of gender equality,” explained John Psaila, Managing Partner at Deloitte Luxembourg. “As in previous years, the quality of the candidates and the projects presented is outstanding. The impact created by the success of the initiative has gone beyond our expectations in all respects,” he continued.
