Race/Ethnic initiatives at Accenture

Our Accenture workforce is comprised of highly motivated employees who reflect the ethnic origins, cultures and diversity of a global marketplace. Our people are what make us stand out from the competition and drive high performance for our clients. Understanding the diversity of opinions which may be influenced by a variety of ethnic and cultural backgrounds improves the way we work together as a team every day.

With an eye on today’s global marketplace, Accenture leadership demonstrates our commitment to an inclusive environment by ensuring employees from all backgrounds and ethnicities feel supported in a variety of ways:

• by serving as faculty in our training offerings;

• by coaching employees to help them develop their careers;

• by mentoring and sponsoring colleagues; and

• by serving as executive sponsors of employee resource groups.

Employee Resource Groups
Our local offices drive initiatives and programs to support our different ethnic groups and help them build strong networks, both within Accenture and the broader community. Employee resource groups for different ethnicities exist in South Africa, the United Kingdom and the United States.

Ethnic Diversity Training
We are committed to the growth and career development of all employees by providing various training programs—coached by our own leaders—to address their needs.

Our culture of inclusion and diversity is fostered by our US employee resource groups—vibrant communities that enable our people to strengthen their networks, grow their skills, celebrate their heritages and give back to the communities where they live and work. We have 10 national employee resource groups with 250+ local chapters.
