But the very powerful Deloitte, also known as Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu or Deloitte & Touche, is not one of those scary, unapproachable big businesses. In fact, its American subsidiary boasts numerous awards for youth recruitment, diversity, worker treatment, and promotion of women in the workplace.

According to Deloitte's website, in 2003, it was listed as a Top 10 company for recruitment. Deloitte was also named in a list of "100 Best Companies to Work For" by Fortune magazine. According to Diversity, Inc., Deloitte was named one of the "Top 50 Companies for Diversity" between the years of 2002 and 2004 and again in 2007.

As for the LGBT community, Deloitte was named a Top 10 company to work for by Diversity, Inc., in 2005 and 2006. The Human Rights Campaign Foundation listed Deloitte as one of the best places to work for LGBT equality this year.


Also this year, Deloitte was named a Top 10 company to work at for executive women, and it was named in Working Mother magazine as one of the "100 Best Companies for Working Mothers" in 2006 for the 13th year in a row. Deloitte has also been recognized by Essence magazine for African-American women and Latina Style for women of Latin origins.

Fourteen years ago, Deloitte launched its groundbreaking Initiative for the Retention and Advancement of Women. Deloitte views the initiative as a way to one-up its competitors. James H. Quigly, CEO of Deloitte & Touche USA, LLP, said, "The leadership of women across our organization gives us a strategic advantage in the increasingly diverse and competitive global marketplace." The world is a changing place, and Deloitte seems to be very progressive in its standards for hiring employees.

If you plan on becoming a successful business associate, Deloitte might be a viable option that offers an inviting and helpful atmosphere, regardless of your background. Women, members of the LGBT community, and people from all ethnic backgrounds seem to be welcomed to join the ranks of the powerful business associates of Deloitte.
