When organizations build a culture that values all dimensions of diversity – one that provides equitable opportunities for people to grow, learn and advance – it creates an environment where everyone thrives and where people can experience a true sense of belonging.
Karyn Twaronite
EY Global Vice Chair – Diversity & Inclusiveness
Welcome to a workplace for all
The environment at EY is both diverse and inclusive, built around the idea of recognizing and celebrating all differences.
We promote a culture of respect in the workplace so everyone can feel free to be themselves. Diverse viewpoints are the catalysts that lead to better questions and better answers. That’s when creative ideas flow, igniting innovation and inspiring more effective solutions.
We welcome all people, no matter who they are or what their background. Each of us is different, and we value and respect all EY people.
Feel part of something special
When people feel valued for their many differences, they feel a part of something greater; they feel like they belong. This can have a powerful effect on performance. When we feel we belong, we feel more confident, competent and secure, able to be ourselves and offer differing viewpoints safe in the knowledge that they will be heard and that they matter. We feel less stressed and more motivated and engaged, more likely to come up with inspired contributions. We feel like trusted insiders.
We want all EY people to experience that feeling of belonging, yet the increasing diversity of EY teams can also make it harder to feel like you belong. By building truly inclusive teams, we can grow that sense of belonging for all team members and create a virtuous cycle: the more you feel you belong, the more you will behave inclusively.
We each have multiple aspects of our identity, many of which may not be visible to others. How much we share differs from person to person depending on factors such as personality and culture, but also on how safe we feel. By being open and showing we care we help to build trust, allowing you to reveal more of who you are to inspire fuller and better contributions.
We foster high-performing teams by having a shared vision, by engaging each member in discussions and decisions, by supporting each other professionally and personally, by investing in each other's success and by making everyone feel they belong.
We’re 270,000 different perspectives
In today’s fast-changing environment, diversity is crucial to success in the global economy. Limiting diversity means limiting the innovation and insight it inspires. Our competitive advantage depends on the ability to make the most of the different opinions, experiences and cultural references of all EY people. By doing so we can identify the risks and opportunities we might not otherwise see, and better capitalize on them.
We know that diverse and inclusive teams make the working world better. By drawing on different perspectives and exchanging ideas freely across borders, we stimulate innovation, foster collaboration and deepen relationships. This increases organizational agility and strengthens resilience to disruption. It drives better decision-making and, ultimately, growth.
We are committed to creating an environment where everyone feels valued. Our focus on diversity and inclusiveness is integral to how we serve clients, develop EY people and play a leadership role in communities around the world.
Working with us, you’ll be encouraged to embrace diversity in all its forms. You’ll have the chance to work in global teams comprised of diverse talents and experiences that combine to produce smarter and better services.
Allied with inspiring and rewarding opportunities to work across borders and cultures, you’ll be able to embrace and learn from many different viewpoints.
By being open and curious, and valuing the differences in those you work alongside, you’ll find that you expand your perspectives and, ultimately, provide better answers for your clients and communities.
We offer an inclusive work environment where you’ll be respected for your differences as well as your skills and talents, so you can contribute your personal best every day.
We are strongly committed to equal opportunity and are embedding D&I in all processes, from recruitment to assignments, from career management to recognition.
We encourage dialogue among EY people to promote understanding, build our inclusive culture, and drive innovation and exceptional service for clients. A variety of professional networks provide a supportive community and build awareness of diverse attributes to promote inclusiveness.
