KPMG is proud to foster a high-performance culture, one that’s defined by having the best people, with the skills and determination to deliver above and beyond. And that means we must continue to recruit, retain, and develop people who are technically brilliant, insightful, and astute professionals who are also forward-thinking, confident, and globally minded.
We know that our ability to successfully sustain a high-performance culture also requires that our people be as diverse as the clients we serve, and the communities in which we live and work.
Diversity and inclusion are a critical component of our larger corporate responsibility strategy.

Supported by a Strong Infrastructure

Our chairman as well as our national managing partner and national director of Diversity and Corporate Responsibility all serve on our Diversity Advisory Board (DAB) and Women’s Advisory Board (WAB). Working together, they help ensure we continue to foster and sustain an open and inclusive work environment, and continuously enhance the recruiting, retention, and advancement of a diverse team of high-performing professionals.

Defined Diversity Goals
All partners, partners in leadership roles, and all office managing partners, as well as managers and senior managers in both Client Service Delivery and Client Service Support roles, have defined diversity goals. These include participation in KPMG’s diversity networks, recruitment efforts, mentoring, and external diversity events that include clients or the community. The goals, which are one of the criteria for consideration for promotion, are embedded in our performance development process.

Our Diversity Networks
