Ranked Sixth in the United States on the
Fortune 100 Best Companies to Work For® List
Accenture (NYSE: ACN) has been recognized as a top 10 Great
Place to Work® for 2022 in six countries, including Argentina,
Brazil, France, Japan, the Philippines and the United States, and
has also been recognized in Greater China. Specifically, on today’s
US list, Accenture jumped 38 spots to rank #6. Overall, this is the
14th consecutive year that Accenture has been recognized by Great
Place to Work®.
The list, in partnership with Fortune magazine’s 100 Best
Companies to Work For® and now in its 25th year, is one of the most
respected and comprehensive measures of workplace culture and
talent management best practices.
“A great place to work starts with a culture that enables all
people to have the opportunity to reach their potential,” said
Ellyn Shook, Accenture’s chief leadership & human resources
officer. “Our cultural building blocks have served as our
foundation for years — our behaviors, our beliefs, how we develop
people and how we do business. It is an honor to be recognized on
this list because it’s what our people say about their experiences
and opportunities that got us here. The breadth of our diversity
and the magnitude of our scale is important, but it is each and
every one of the 699,000 people at Accenture that makes us a great
place to work each and every day.”
A large part of the Great Place to Work® evaluation is based on
a confidential survey in which employees assessed the company based
on their personal experiences across dimensions like caring,
community, justice, pride, leadership behavior and respect. In that
survey, nine out of 10 Accenture US employees said Accenture is a
great place to work.
Accenture’s commitment to generating 360° Value — defined as
achieving financial growth and leading in critical areas like
inclusion and diversity, skilling and sustainability — includes
delivering on that value for its people. Recently, Accenture
launched its 360° Value Reporting Experience to transparently
communicate to its people, and all stakeholders, how it is
performing in these areas.
In addition, Accenture has made a range of investments in its
people, culture and communities:
- Health & Wellness: Building on a robust program to
care for its people, Accenture hired its first Chief Health
Officer, Dr. Tamarah Duperval-Brownlee, to focus on strategies to
support whole health and mental resilience, with equitable access
to care at the core. The company also has expanded training and
tools, like its Thriving Mind program, to help its people
strengthen their resilience and improve overall well-being.
- Inclusion & Diversity: The company continues to make
progress toward its 2025 US inclusion and diversity goals,
increasing African American, Black, Hispanic American and Latinx
representation among its workforce and its leadership. To foster
inclusion and belonging, Accenture’s anti-racism training and
Building Bridges discussions help educate and create safe spaces to
talk about race in the workplace, and vibrant employee resource
groups help strengthen the company’s culture of equality.
- Continuous learning: Accenture continues to build on its
reputation as a world-class learning organization, focused on
skills to help its people remain highly relevant and meet client
needs, including investing $900M globally during FY21 in learning
and professional development. As a talent creator, skill
development is a primary focus in shaping new career pathways
within the organization, particularly for Accenture’s
Apprenticeship Program, which will help fill 20% of US entry-level
roles at the company this year.
- Building community: Accenture is creating
“omni-connected experiences” that transcend spaces and places to
level the playing field so people can connect and contribute
regardless of location. This year, Accenture’s 150,000 new joiners
worldwide will come together via the “Nth floor,” Accenture’s
enterprise metaverse, to learn about the company, network with
peers and leaders, and experience Accenture’s culture in a
meaningful and personal way. Accenture is also working to increase
opportunity in its communities through initiatives like the Black
Founders Development Program, which provides Black tech
entrepreneurs with more direct access to venture capital,
mentorship and connections to grow their businesses.
- Sustainability: Recognizing the role of organizations in
environmental stewardship, Accenture has committed to reaching net
zero by 2025. This effort includes planting 674,000 trees (one for
each of Accenture’s people globally, as of December 2021); meeting
office energy needs with 100% renewable electricity by 2023; and
investing in nature-based carbon removal solutions that are
projected to physically remove more than 13 million metric tons of
carbon from the atmosphere over the next 20 years.
“This is a tremendous honor for Accenture and I want to thank
our people for the critical role they play in making this company a
great place to work,” said Jimmy Etheredge, Accenture’s CEO of
North America. "We strive to create an environment where every one
of our people feel seen, safe, connected and courageous. This
guides not only how we treat one another, but how we serve our
clients and how we support the communities where we live and work.
We are constantly challenging ourselves to create greater
opportunities for all, and it is deeply rewarding to see this
recognition from our people.”
Accenture’s commitment to and focus on its people has generated
significant recognition including: No. 1 in its industry among
Fortune’s World’s Most Admired Companies, the highest-scoring
company on the Bloomberg Gender-Equality Index, No. 2 on
DiversityInc’s Top 50 Companies for Diversity, No. 3 on the
Refinitiv Diversity & Inclusion Index and 15 consecutive years
on both Ethisphere’s World’s Most Ethical Companies and the Human
Rights Campaign’s Corporate Equality Index.
