On Friday 23 October 2026, Deloitte Luxembourg reported that it had kicked off its Autumn Induction programme, bringing together 178 junior colleagues representing 30 nationalities on Thursday 22 October 2026.
According to Deloitte Luxembourg, the group included colleagues from the firm's wider autumn intake of 197 new joiners across all grades.
Reflecting Deloitte Luxembourg's multidisciplinary model, the new cohort joins teams across Advisory & Consulting, Audit & Assurance, Tax and Enabling Areas, bringing together early-career professionals from a range of backgrounds and disciplines. Their induction marks the start of a broader programme designed to build technical expertise alongside the critical thinking, judgement and human capabilities needed in an increasingly technology-enabled workplace.
The day opened with a welcome from Joachim Heukmes, CEO & Managing Partner, Maude Bologne, People & Purpose Leader, and Anne Bellini Damardji, Head of People. New joiners were introduced to Deloitte Luxembourg's vision and strategy, as well as the firm's purpose, shared values and talent approach. Interactive sessions also gave them opportunities to engage directly with leaders and connect with colleagues from across the firm.
The programme explored how technology and human capabilities work together. With technology and artificial intelligence (AI) increasingly supporting professional activities, new joiners were encouraged to develop the critical thinking, curiosity and judgement needed to challenge information, ask the right questions and use these tools effectively, alongside the initiative and collaboration that will remain essential throughout their careers. An inspirational session led by Guy Benzeno focused on career development, exploring how professionals can build their reputation, strengthen relationships and maintain human connection in a digital workplace.
Participants were also introduced to Deloitte's EMEA network and to opportunities to shape their careers through learning, on-the-job feedback, coaching and connections beyond their immediate teams.
Beyond the initial event, the induction continues through a structured programme of firm discovery, networking and business-specific technical training. New joiners are encouraged to deepen their understanding of their markets and professions, collaborate across teams and challenge themselves, while playing an active role in their own journey and contributing to the firm's culture.
Joachim Heukmes, CEO & Managing Partner of Deloitte Luxembourg, said: "I am proud to welcome such a talented and motivated group of professionals. Our commitment is not only to help them succeed in their roles today, but to create an environment where they can continuously learn, grow, and unlock their full potential throughout their careers." He added:"By investing in their development and empowering them to go further, we strengthen the future of our organisation. Our people are at the heart of everything we do, and their success is our success."
Maude Bologne, People & Purpose Leader at Deloitte Luxembourg, added: "A career is rarely a straight line, and new joiners do not need to have every step mapped out from day one. What matters is staying curious, building connections, and being willing to contribute."
