An award winning commitment to diversity
The White Camellia Awards acknowledge companies that have made the most progress in implementing the Women’s Empowerment Principles (WEP), which seek to empower women in the workplace.
The Firm was praised for promoting education, training and professional development for women. Deborah Lucas and Diana Maitland represented Deloitte on the night. "It was exciting to hear about what each of the winning organisations is doing towards implementing the WEP principles, and the opportunities we have to further develop our diversity and inclusion within Deloitte," said Deborah.
One of the organisers Bev Cassidy-MacKenzie, of the EEO Trust says; "We hope that other companies will learn from their (the winners) example, and make a similar effort to promote gender equality in the workplace, and treat men and women equally."
