In this HRchat episode, Bill Banham is joined by Kim Tabac, Chief Talent Officer at Deloitte Canada. A senior business professional with over 20 years’ experience in Human Resources leadership roles, Kim has a proven track record of building high-performing teams and designing inclusion strategies. Kim will be the keynote speaker at the April 2018 InnovateWork summit. Her session is called Building Your Total Value Proposition.
In 2017, Kim Tabac and her team took on the major initiative of redefining the Deloitte Canada employment experience. To further amplify the employment brand, Tabac reviewed the ways in which the firm attracts, recruits, develops and supports its people, and then implemented a strategy to change traditional impressions of Deloitte both within the firm itself and in the wider talent marketplace.
Just as critically, Kim has introduced inclusive leadership training to all of Deloitte’s partners and continues to underscore the importance of cognitive diversity in the workplace. In an effort to enable employees to bring their “true authentic selves” to work, Deloitte offers ongoing leadership development opportunities at an in-house educational facility, Deloitte University North, and also provides coaching to employees.
The focus on the employment experience has paid off. Kim has seen a significant increase in the number of applications for employment at Deloitte Canada, both on and off campus, and the highest employment acceptance rate in the history of the firm, from both students and experienced individuals across industries. Deloitte’s social media channels have also seen a sharp rise in popularity, including a nearly 50% increase in Instagram followers.
