Accenture’s commitment to attracting, retaining, and advancing the women who work with us is critical to being a high-performance business. Our various Women’s Initiatives help us achieve our goal for diversity. As more women choose careers in business and technology, Accenture has created unique programs to support our women in their career development and progression, including: Flexible Work Arrangements: supports the unique needs of professionals in the workplace, encouraging a balance between work and personal priorities. Maternity Returners Program: helps ease the transition for new parents back into the workforce by providing career guidance and support for finding ideal re-entry roles. Women's Mentoring Programs: pairs female executives with senior executive mentors, includes virtual workshops and provides networking tips to help ensure the advancement of women at Accenture. International Women’s Day: every year Accenture people come together on March 8th to celebrate International Women’s Day, to learn about the positive impact women are having on the world and Accenture. Participants enjoy exchanging ideas about women, inclusion and their impact on the global economy and Accenture's business, and join in on local events. This global celebration provides a venue for networking, building vital skills, and addressing issues that face women in the workplace and beyond.
