Our focus is on being a market-leading employer, with a recognised global employer brand framework that promotes consistency in our people experience while celebrating local cultures and dynamics.

For RSM, 2023 was marked by advancements and initiatives aimed at fostering a culture of collaboration, learning, and leadership development across our global operations. 

Our Managing Partner Forum was a cornerstone event, bringing together RSM leaders at the start of the year to deepen relationships and share insights. This spirit of unity and strategic alignment was further bolstered as we reconvened at five in-person Regional Conferences for the first time since 2019, reinforcing our global connectivity and commitment to shared goals. 

RSM Academy 3.0 represented a leap forward in our educational initiatives. Utilising a new, dynamic technology platform, this iteration of our flagship training programme enabled the creation of an engaging and interactive learning environment, and marked a significant evolution in our approach to developing culturally intelligent, future leaders. RSM has continued to nurture a strong talent pipeline through its quarterly RSM Academy Alumni programme, which fosters lasting connections and facilitates continuous development among our graduates.

Our dedication to fostering a culture of continuous learning and development was evident in the creation of over 200 learning modules on RSM Campus, our global learning management platform. These modules cover a broad spectrum of topics, from IFRS and quality and risk to audit, leadership, and management, illustrating our commitment to upholding the highest standards of professional excellence. 

Moreover, the creation and operationalisation of the Global HR Community marked a pivotal step in strengthening HR practices across RSM. This initiative aimed at ensuring a cohesive and supportive environment for our people worldwide, further enhancing our ability to attract, develop, and retain top talent. 

In anticipation of our evolved global brand launch, we undertook the selection and photography of new ‘Faces of RSM’. This initiative celebrated the diversity and spirit of our people, embodying the essence of RSM and our inclusive culture. 2023 also saw the initiation of the development of a Global Code of Conduct, a testament to our focus on harmonising our values and ethical standards to create seamless client and people experiences worldwide.
