New Delhi: Following the death of an Ernst & Young employee, Deloitte on Friday formed a 3-member panel to review the firm's people practices, and policies following the death of an EY employee allegedly due to work pressure. This initiative aims to ensure the well-being of its workforce and prevent similar incidents.

The panel will evaluate current employee support systems and work culture. Deloitte emphasizes its commitment to fostering a healthy work environment. The review comes amid increasing concerns about mental health in the workplace.

A 26-year-old employee of the multinational consulting firm Ernst & Young (EY) in Pune has died due to what her mother describes as an "overwhelming workload." Anna Sebastian Perayil had started working at EY as a chartered accountant just four months before her tragic passing, according to a letter from her mother, Anita Augustine.
