Work/life Balance
A sensible balance between a person's work and personal life. Accenture recognizes the importance of this balance and is seriously committed to flexibility in the workplace. The convenience of laptops, wireless phones, Internet access to e-mail and a variety of other technological innovations give Accenture employees a great deal of flexibility in how and where they work. See also telecommuting, flexible work style.

Workforce
Accenture's four workforces are Consulting, Enterprise, Services and Solutions. Each workforce contributes to the business in a different but complementary way, and offers a different career experience depending on a person's skills, career objectives and the kind of work they require. See also work group.

Work Group
A work group is the second level of grouping in Accenture's workforce structure. When hired into a workforce, an individual is assigned to a specific work group. Work groups distinguish the key capabilities of our people and define the core, foundation skills required within the workforce.
