Our work involves discovering smarter ways of working. This applies just as much to our own people as it does to our clients. We know how important it is for our employees to strike a balance between their work and personal lives. With the convenience of wireless communication, Internet access, technological innovations, and Accenture’s serious commitment to flexibility in the workplace, we can offer our people a flexible approach – giving them options as to how and where they do their work.
Sometimes you'll work long hours. But we'll also help you find time for all the things you want to do outside work through our personal support services, optional sabbaticals between projects, and community development programs. Accenture offers a number of flexible work arrangements – such as flex time, telecommuting/working from home and working part-time.
Work/life balance is also an issue where significant professional travel is involved, which is often the case for many of our consulting people. Fly-backs and client-site flexible work arrangements help our professionals balance work and life when they are working away from home.
Accenture is striving to reduce the amount of travel required by our employees by rolling out a variety of phone and video conferencing technologies such as Telepresence, a ‘like being there’ video conference solution, and RoundTable, a 360 degree visual conferencing tool, that helps to connect face-to-face with remote teams in real-time.
