We are proud to announce that Accenture was named as one of Australia’s top employers of choice at the Australian HR Awards 2008, held 30 October in Sydney.

The Australian HR, which recognise excellence across 16 categories of human resources, are organised by Australia’s largest publication for the human resources profession, Human Resources magazine, and sponsored by Aon Consulting.

Accenture scooped the biggest award of the night: The Full Circle Feedback Award for Employer of Choice (more than 1,000 employees), just ahead of Allens Arthur Robinson.

Accenture was given the award for implementing a broad suite of strategies to create an attractive work environment and demonstrating a forward-thinking approach to its people and future business plans.

Accenture was also picked as a finalist for two other awards on the night.
