Inclusiveness helps us unlock potential, drive innovation and create meaningful impact. Different perspectives and experiences strengthen our teams and lead to better solutions.

By creating an environment where people feel valued, supported and empowered to grow, we make a difference for our clients, communities and each other while shaping the future with confidence.

Our initiatives and communities

At EY, we empower everyone to shape their future with confidence through purposeful, inclusive actions.

We’re actively building a strong pipeline of female leaders through our EY Career Watch sponsorship program and strategic succession planning. This goes beyond filling roles; it’s about unlocking the potential of high-achieving women and connecting them with opportunities and sponsors to lead confidently.

Our commitment to women’s rights and inclusion is embedded in a 365-degree mindset. We break down barriers and advocate for inclusivity at every level, starting with equitable hiring practices that embrace diverse experiences and challenge biases. Some of our many initiatives are listed below:

Women’s Finance Day: A day for female students arranged by the Norwegian Business School to promote a career in the finance sector.
ODA partnership: EY is proud to be a platinum partner of ODA, Norway’s leading network for women in technology. Through this partnership, we aim to promote gender diversity and social responsibility by encouraging more women to pursue careers in tech. Our collaboration includes a wide range of activities such as Inspirational Day, TENK Tech Camp, networking events, mentoring programs, and internal network meetings.
EY NextGen: A local competition designed for female students, where participants collaborate to tackle real-world challenges in transaction advisory. The program concludes with both national and global finals, offering a platform to showcase talent and build connections with industry leaders. The winning student also wins an internship opportunity at EY-Parthenon.

To ensure we select the best talent, we equip our hiring teams with the tools and training required to foster diversity from the start:

Mandatory inclusiveness training for all recruiters
Clear guidance and support for hiring managers
Strategic alignment sessions for recruitment goals
Advanced tools for diverse candidate pipelines and reporting
Gender-balanced screening and interview panels
At EY, shaping your future with confidence means creating an inclusive environment where every candidate can thrive. We encourage open communication about support needs to ensure a personalized, accessible experience, while always respect your privacy and confidentiality.

Recruitment process support

We strive to remove barriers by offering tailored adjustments, like extra preparation time or a support person, so all candidates have an equitable chance. You can request adjustments without sharing your personal medical details.

Ongoing workplace support

Our commitment continues beyond hiring, providing flexible work options and assistive technologies to help employees contribute fully.

Inclusive networks

Our Disability and Neurodiversity Networks promote awareness, support and connection. Employees can also partner with a disability buddy for guidance, fostering a culture of mutual support and confidence.

The impact of inclusiveness

At the global EY organization, we’ve seen the positive impact that inclusiveness has on people’s experiences, business operations and in creating value.

Here are a few results from a recent EY People Pulse survey:

In the global EY Belonging Barometer 3.0, a survey of more than 5,000 working adults across multiple organizations globally, almost half of the surveyed workers said that work was where they feel the greatest sense of belonging, second only to home.
