Everyone is welcome here

Unique individuals, united by purpose

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.

Stories of our people

Molthatlhego Maffa, a Security Analyst, has embraced his neurodiversity after years of trying to fit in. He now advocates for creating a social environment that is friendly for people with autism.

Kenneth Munie is a Managing Director who channels his neurodiversity to excel at synthesizing complex information at work, elevating his team's performance.

Guillermo Ortiz, a Managing Director, is a caregiver to a child with autism. He believes in transforming recruitment and workplace strategies to help people who are neurodiverse reach their full potential.

When she was 14 years old, Liliane Claudia became quadriplegic. Today, she’s a designer and accessibility specialist with Accenture Song. Technology has been essential throughout her career— and  even has an Adobe plug-in named after her.

“One of my proudest accomplishments was developing the Liliane Canvas Control plugin. A partnership with Adobe, this project highlighted accessibility as a solution that provides autonomy for everyone to use digital products,” she says. Today, she’s studying creativity science to solve complex challenges creatively and make  solutions more inclusive.

“Quality work is genderless,” says Annayah Jean (AJ) Fernandez Rivera. “Do not limit yourself to society’s opinion of who you are.”

Twenty years ago, AJ had to navigate a corporate world that wasn’t ready for transwomen. Despite the challenges, she rose to lead major projects and drive Inclusion & Diversity initiatives worldwide. She is now a Managing Director and Technology Products Lead in Canada and advocate for 2SLGBTQ+ rights.

It took years for her to publicly announce this part of her, but she’s determined to make it easier for others.

Wilson Marcondes is the sponsor of the pioneering Color Brave initiative in Brazil. He is the driving force behind this movement for anti-racism, equity, and racial and ethnic inclusion.​

“Being Color Brave means having transparent and respectful conversations about race and ethnicity that help us better understand the perspectives and experiences of each individual. It is the personal stories, the experiences of those who face racial issues firsthand, that contribute to creating and encouraging opportunities for attracting and retaining black talent, their development and career progression, and examples of outcomes and high performance," says Wilson.

Around the world, we’re recognized for our commitments to I&D.
