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.

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.

We strongly believe that attracting, retaining and promoting women is critical to the success of our company. It’s why we have more than 60,000 women contributing to an environment that’s rich in diversity, acknowledges each individual's uniqueness and promotes respect, personal achievement and stewardship.

During the first half of 2009, Accenture Poland together with the Cracow University of Economics in Poland run a unique educational and training program called “Accent on Women”. It was aimed at female students of the university and its objective was to encourage and support women in staring a career in consulting. The program covered a series of workshops delivered exclusively by women professionals on change management, career and personal development, leadership, as well as creating positive image. Among the speakers there were Accenture experts, managers from Accenture client companies, and specialists in the field of business psychology and personal image.
