The Accent on Women's network was born out of the belief that attracting, retaining and promoting women is a critical success factor for our company. We have established strong relationships with universities, as well as student and professional women's organizations, to increase the number of women we hire.
To further increase the retention and advancement of women, we run programs such as:
Flexible Working Options—supports the unique needs of many women in the workplace, encouraging a balance between work and personal priorities. Accenture recognizes that our employees lead busy, full lives with a variety of time demands. Flexible Work Arrangements provide opportunities for employees to find a better balance between their work and personal needs. By utilizing Flexible Work Arrangements, we can provide the best talent to our clients by attracting and retaining the most gifted workforce available.
Flexible working arrangements are driven by a business need and are determined locally in each country to take into account local practice, culture, and law.
For the fourth year, Working Mother’s magazine has included Accenture in the “100 Best Companies for Working Mothers”. We have also received the Catalyst Award, which honors innovative approaches taken by companies towards a diverse environment. Read more about these and other awards we have received.
