Accenture Overview

As a professional services firm, the success of our business begins and ends with our people. Ultimately, we strive to create a work environment that enables our employees’ fullest professional growth and enhance their ability to deliver high performance to our clients, while managing their personal priorities.

Building, maintaining and expanding an inclusive culture is central to Accenture's ongoing success. We sponsor programs that encourage understanding and tolerance to all, regardless of race, age, gender, sexual preference and faith. Our robust approach to inclusion and diversity is anchored by innovative initiatives that support all of our people.

We know it is important for employees to balance a successful career with a healthy lifestyle, involving family, friends and community. From flexible work arrangements, competitive time off packages, to a variety of health and wellness programs, we make a genuine commitment to achieving that balance. We also provide innovative communication and collaboration tools to help increase employee productivity, efficiency and flexibility.

Developing the skills and talents of our people is at the heart of our business, and last year we invested more than $800 million – or 52 hours per person – in training and developing our people. We use a well-managed combination of courses, practical experience on the job and feedback to enable our people to develop specialist skills that help them grow professionally.

You will have the opportunity to learn from and be coached by the best in the business – supportive leaders and colleagues who can pass on their industry, technical and functional expertise. All employees have a dedicated career counselor and are part of an internal community, which meets regularly for business meetings, networking and socials.

Corporate citizenship is fundamental to Accenture's character and the way we run our business. From Skills to Succeed to our environmental stewardship, we work to make a sustainable difference in the long-term vibrancy and vitality of people and communities around the world.

Skills to Succeed combines our passion, experience and our constant commitment to developing and nurturing talent and provides a focus to Accenture’s corporate citizenship efforts. Through employment-building, business-building and market-building initiatives, our people are making a significant impact on the economic well-being of individuals, families and communities around the world.

For example, we team with Genesys Works, a US nonprofit that provides high school students from inner cities with information technology, engineering drafting and accounting/finance training, and then places them in part-time jobs during their senior year. Accenture and the United Kingdom nonprofit Oxfam are working to increase market building skills for small landowner communities in India and Tanzania.
