      Committing to Inclusion, Diversity and Equity is embedded in our Values, central to delivering on our People Promise and vital to fulfilling our purpose of Fuelling New Zealand’s prosperity.
       

      To us at KPMG New Zealand, Inclusion is about Belonging, our commitment is to creating a safe environment built on trust; where we can bring our true authentic selves to work and feel valued for our unique contributions and perspectives.

      Diversity is about difference, ensuring we have a range of backgrounds and perspectives on our team enables us to provide innovative solutions and creative ideas to deliver the best outcomes for our clients and communities.

      Equity is our commitment to standing against systemic barriers and biases. It’s about recognising the historical legacies and current realities of bias, discrimination and prejudice that people experience when they come from communities that have been marginalised. We must acknowledge that everyone does not have access to the same resources and opportunities and take affirmative action to level the playing field.

      Each and everyone one of us has our own uniqueness,, life essence and presence

      Affinity Networks


      Together, For Better.

      We recognise that it is up to every single one of us to create a culture of Belonging at KPMG New Zealand. An environment where our whole whānau can succeed together. He waka eke noa - We’re all in this together. Our Affinity Networks play a huge role in bringing our values to life, drawing on our similarities while celebrating our differences. They help ensure the voices of our people are heard during decision making and steer our Inclusion, Diversity and Equity strategy in the right direction.  While we acknowledge there is still a long way to go, we know we must keep striving for better outcomes for our people, our clients and our communities. An environment where our whānau can succeed. Together, For Better.

      IDE is core to KPMG: building teams with diverse views that represent the world we live in plays a key role in unlocking our full potential across member firms. It’s incredibly encouraging to see IDE principles being reflected across the globe. Given the trajectory we’re on, I can't wait to see what we’ve achieved a year from now.

      Whānau@KPMG

      KPMG recognises the importance of family and the various caring responsibilities our people have. We offer 18 weeks of paid parental leave regardless of primary or secondary distinction, and with no tenure-based requirements. This means that all of our parents at KPMG can focus on their whānau in those crucial early months.

      Our partnership with Grace Papers also provides support, resources and tools to guide our people through their work-life integration as a parent or carer.

      Whānau@KPMG

      Everyone will have unique situations, so we’re encouraging parents to take that time off in whatever way is going to suit their whānau best.
