Talent & organization / human potential

In these unprecedented times, businesses are working together at record speed and scale to take on the enormous challenges that now touch everyone, everywhere. While many leaders believe innovative technology is the answer, we know its only part of the solution, with the most successful organizations elevating their people and harnessing human potential to create sustainable competitive advantage.

Responsible leaders are at the heart of these people-rich and highly effective growth strategies, helping businesses move confidently through unchartered territory and rise to the new norm where respect, compassion and care for workforces and customers are among the prerequisites for success.

Organizations that put people first and meet their fundamental human needs through work will unlock their people’s full potential – and see an increase in business performance.

In times of crisis, people look to leaders for compassion, care and confidence in navigating the company into the future. When people’s relational, mental and physical needs are met, they will be at their best personally and at work.

The ability for leaders to address people’s physical, mental and relationship needs is the foundation of trust. Our Accenture workforce research spanning 15,600+ global workers in 10 countries and 15 industries shares insights on how leaders can help their people develop resilience by caring for these needs.

And, our collaborations with Arianna Huffington, Thrive Global and Josh Bersin brings together the latest science, research and community learning to uplift people’s wellbeing and improve workforce performance.
