DiversityInc evaluates companies that champion inclusion and
diversity in six areas: Human Capital Diversity Metrics, Leadership
Accountability, Talent Programs, Workplace Practices, Supplier
Diversity and Philanthropy.
Accenture was also recognized on several DiversityInc Specialty
Lists, including No.1 for Top Companies for Board of Directors, No.
3 for Top Companies for Mentoring and No.4 for Top Companies for
Environmental, Social & Governance (ESG).
“At Accenture, the richness of our diversity starts with every
single one of us. The unique voices and experiences of our people
form the powerful collective that propels our progress and makes
inclusion, diversity and equality part of who we are and how we
work every day. Yet our work is not done,” said Ellyn Shook,
Accenture’s chief leadership and human resources officer. “To truly
level the playing field, the path forward is equity for all. And
because of our size and scale, we can accelerate inclusive and
equitable growth in the communities where we work and live.”
Accenture’s commitments and investments to nurture a culture of
equity include:
- Accountability and Transparency. In 2016, Accenture
became the first professional services company to publish
comprehensive data about its US workforce. Every year since then,
the company has shared its workforce composition by gender, race
and ethnicity, persons with disabilities and veterans.
- Combating Racism. The company continues to make progress
toward its 2025 goals to increase 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 equity. To date, 97% of our people in the US, Canada,
Ireland, South Africa and the UK have completed mandatory training
on identifying, speaking up and reporting racism.
- Pay Equity. Accenture has dollar-for-dollar, 100% pay
equity for women compared to men in every country it operates.
Likewise, by race and ethnicity, Accenture has dollar-for-dollar,
100% pay equity in countries where such data is collected (the US,
South Africa and the UK).
- Gender Equity. Today, more than 300,000 women work at
Accenture globally, representing 46% of the workforce, 47% of new
hires and 32% of executive leadership.
- LGBTIQ+ Visibility. All Accenture people have access to
same-sex or equivalent benefits where legally allowed and the
global Ally program engages more than 120,000 members.
- Disability Champions. Accenture’s Accommodation Support
Tool helps people easily ask for assistive technology, flexible
work arrangements, sign language interpreters, screen readers and
more. The global, first-of-its-kind tool is currently available in
39 of Accenture’s operational countries, with more being added. Our
Disability Inclusion Champion network of more than 35,000 members
worldwide brings our people together regularly to collaborate,
network and support the community.
- New Career Pathways. For fiscal year 2022, Accenture
plans to fill 20% of its entry-level roles in the US from its
Apprenticeship Program – a learn-and-earn model that does not
require a four-year college degree and provides apprentices with
market-based wages and comprehensive benefits while building
cutting-edge skills needed for a successful career.
“Reaching number one is a milestone — and it’s the result of our
people’s relentless focus on creating a culture where equity is the
reality,” said Jimmy Etheredge, CEO of Accenture North America.
“We’re even more energized to make Accenture a place where we truly
care about each other, where everyone has a voice and where
everyone can grow and learn. Together we will keep making change
happen for our people, our clients and our communities.”
Accenture’s commitment to inclusion and diversity has generated
significant recognition including: the highest-scoring company on
the Bloomberg Gender-Equality Index, No. 3 on the Refinitiv
Diversity & Inclusion Index, No. 6 on Fortune 100 Best
Companies to Work For, and 15 consecutive years on the Human Rights
Campaign’s Corporate Equality Index.
