“The virtual audit room makes it easier to coach and to speak up while working remotely. Even more importantly, it is a tool that keeps me socially connected with my teams”
Recruiting for today and tomorrow
To turn The New Equation into reality we have committed to create 100,000 net new jobs in the next five years, with a clear emphasis on hiring specialists in increasingly critical areas such as technology, digital, climate, strategic deals, leadership and change, strategy, brand building and supply chain. Despite the challenges of a year dominated by the pandemic, our recruiting efforts continued without pause in FY21, and we welcomed 90,273 new joiners (FY20: 81,552), including 24,800 interns.

Not only has this been a creative way of navigating pandemic restrictions but, more importantly, this medium enables us to expand our reach to universities at which we previously may not have had a physical presence.
