Deloitte experienced hires, who all received written offers and in process of visa/ onboarding, have you heard back anything about hiring freeze? Or recruiter asked you to delay joining date?
My visa got submitted couple of days back and waiting for decision. When I reached out to recruiter to give her an update and mentioned once there’s decision will discuss on the start date before putting my 2 weeks, she mentioned “Yes, we should talk before you put notice” - Am I overthinking?

I would first ask what sort of D&I efforts is the company doing now. Let that spark the conversation and lead to what more should be done. Be prepared to have solutions and suggestions.
Pro
Personally, really agree with this approach especially as a DEI leader in my organization. Demonstrating that it’s important to you to your leadership team will get them more involved.
Find out who the EDI/DEI lead is, or the accountable person, and ask them what's in place. As said above, have solutions available and ensure you are able to articulate what problem you want to solve based on your experience.
Anyone in the organisation should be able to raise issues regarding EDI efforts, regardless of length of service, new employees are more likely to notice culturally embedded problems than long serving employees.
Pro
Totally agree that meeting with your DEI or EID lead is a great first step
How large is your team?
Sure, but I'd make sure you have all your ducks in a row and are fully prepared to spearhead such an initiative.
Pro
Also OP’s enthusiasm for DEI doesn’t necessarily mean they have expertise or experience in the area, and asking someone with no experience to lead a whole initiative is setting it up to fail
Pro
I think it is totally possible and a very important and brave thing to do. I think you can couch it in what DEI opportunities do we have right now, which will allow them to better understand what they can immediately think of. If nothing comes to mind for them, then you can provide some suggestions or ask if there’s a DEI team that you can get in contact with.
