We are a people business and bringing the right people to the table — together with the right technology — is our greatest asset. In a rapidly changing environment, strong relationships and connectivity are needed now more than ever.

At KPMG, we’re committed to creating a caring, inclusive and purpose-led culture where everyone is comfortable bringing their full selves to work. We provide our people with opportunities to learn and grow, while tapping into their passion to do work that matters by making a positive difference for clients and the communities we serve.

We know the world of work is changing along with our people’s expectations. We listened to what our people wanted and worked with them to co-create a hybrid working blueprint. We continue to invest in our digital workplace so that our people can deliver work effectively regardless of where they are. With flexible working options introduced in many KPMG firms, teams have choices about how they work in a way that supports wellbeing, while continuing to deliver excellent results for clients. 

We’re committed to equipping our more than 265,000 people with future-ready skills and lifelong learning opportunities. As part of our ESG plan, in FY22 we began providing all KPMG professionals with ESG learning to help them feel empowered to be agents of positive change. 

Working with leading global academic institution, the University of Cambridge Judge Business School, this learning aims to provide a solid understanding of what ESG is, why it matters, what KPMG’s doing to include ESG in everything we do and how everyone can make a positive impact. To date, almost 100,000 of our people have completed the training.

As part of our commitment to invest US$5 billion to accelerate KPMG’s digital transformation, we launched a global Digital and Data Foundations program in 2022 so our people can better support clients and our business. Our aim is to give all KPMG professionals access to leading-edge training so they can gain a foundational understanding of a range of relevant digital topics.

In recognition of the International Day for the Elimination of Racial Discrimination, we created an online space for KPMG professionals to share their learnings and stories, demonstrate allyship and help make meaningful change. Within the first week of launching, hundreds of our people (35 percent at the leadership level) were reading articles on inclusive meetings, watching TED Talks on colorism and learning about microaggressions. 

As part of the IDE Collective Action Plan launched in FY21, KPMG took an important step towards gender diversity by setting an intention to have women in more than one-third of leadership roles globally by 2025. With our recent global management appointments we have achieved gender parity on the Global Management Team.

We want to empower KPMG professionals to help contribute to a better future. C75 is KPMG’s refreshed 18-month leadership and development program. It aims to help future leaders build a unique KPMG mindset — one that is global, regional and local — and a better understanding of how they can help make a positive impact for their clients, our communities and our teams. Through in-person and virtual events, and one-to-one coaching and support, C75 gives participants rich opportunities to develop as leaders and form meaningful connections through networking, global collaboration and cross-enterprise work.
