Our veteran hires bring a unique perspective, experience, skills, and values that are assets for our businesses, particularly our Commercial and Federal Government Services practices. Many veterans at Deloitte utilize their experience as "Specialists" which allows them to focus on a specific industry/agency while leveraging their extensive knowledge base to solve complex government and industry problems. Our veteran practitioners offer adaptability, an accelerated learning curve, leadership skills, teaming capabilities, high performance under pressure, and a commitment to excellence – all traits that add significant value to our project teams and the work we do for our clients. In turn, Deloitte provides our active military and veteran professionals with industry-leading benefits, such as a generous paid-time off (PTO) program, up to 16 weeks of gender-neutral paid family leave for eligible employees to welcome a new child or care for a family member with a serious health condition, flexibility in their work schedules, winter and summer “Collective Disconnects” during which time our US organization shuts down so that our people can recharge, a variety of multicultural mental health resources, and a $500 annual well-being subsidy. Jennie, Deloitte Tax senior manager, Brigadier General in the US Air Force Reserve, wife and mother, notes, “I wouldn’t be a Reservist if it wasn’t for Deloitte. From my peers to leadership, everyone has been incredible,” says Jennie. “They’ve helped me continue to serve and add value at Deloitte and have given me time to ramp up upon my return. I am so appreciative of the flexibility I’ve been given.”
