LITTLE STEPS FOR BIG FOUR

摘要

To great fanfare, Deloitte has burst into life with the news that 80 lucky people have made the grade and been promoted to partner. Of these, 24 are women. That's 30% of the new intake. Great strides, indeed, towards righting the gender imbalance in the higher echelons of the firm. But once you do the maths, you see just how many more strides will be required before we stop talking about gender diversity. Before the promotions, 15% of Deloitte's partners were women. Now, with the influx of new partners, that figure has moved all the way up to... 16%. Not much to shout about, but at least it's in the right direction.
