Inclusion & Diversity
Embracing diversity to drive innovation and reinvention
We foster a culture and a workplace where all our people can feel a sense of belonging, are respected and are empowered to do their best work.
Our commitment
Our purpose is to deliver on the promise of technology and human ingenuity. Our strategy is to deliver 360° value for all our stakeholders by helping them continuously reinvent. To drive reinvention, innovation must be at the forefront, which requires us to attract, develop and inspire top talent. Talent is one of our most important areas of competitive differentiation.
As part of our talent strategy, we hire and develop people who have different backgrounds, different perspectives and different lived experiences. These differences ensure that we have and attract the cognitive diversity to deliver a variety of perspectives, observations and insights which are essential to drive the innovation needed to reinvent, and we hold our leaders accountable for ensuring we have the most innovative and talented people in our industry.
We recognize that some people come to Accenture having faced obstacles as an aspect of their identity or lived experience. At Accenture, we are committed to embracing these perspectives and ensuring that all of our people have the opportunity to thrive and unlock their full potential. We are committed to equal opportunity and a workplace free from bias. We are a meritocracy. Our intention is to foster a culture and a workplace in which all of our people feel a sense of belonging and are respected and empowered to do their best work and to create 360° value for all our stakeholders.
Collaborating with our clients
By fostering a culture where all our people feel a sense of belonging and that they are respected and empowered to do their best work, we can more effectively help our clients reinvent their businesses. We build inclusive and diverse teams because we believe they can create better, more innovative solutions that reflect the needs of our clients’ customers and stakeholders.
When inclusion starts at the top, it inspires everyone. Our commitment begins with our Chair and CEO, Board of Directors and Global Management Committee.
Our inclusion and diversity strategies are led by our Global Chief Diversity Officer, who reports to our Chief Leadership and Human Resource Officer.
Our Leadership Essentials set the expectation that our leaders consistently demonstrate their commitment to creating a culture where everyone can thrive and continuously build their inclusive leadership skills.
