The growing market saw Deloitte Middle East hire over 3,000 professionals across the region in the past 18 months, of which 50% are women which is in line with its diversity mandate. 

The partners discussed Deloitte’s multi-disciplinary model, which seeks to provide clients a full range of end-to-end services, enabling them to navigate challenges and seize opportunities. This positions Deloitte as best placed to leverage emerging technologies and drive digital transformation, which plays a key role in the success of regional national agendas, supporting economic diversification and growth. 

The discussions also covered a wide range of other topics, including the future of work, Deloitte’s unique employee value proposition to attract top talent, as well as Deloitte’s commitment to purpose-led growth.
