Persons with disabilities
We focus on enablement, offering an inclusive, equitable work environment.
We firmly believe that each person has unique skills, talent and strengths to contribute, and there should be no barrier to sharing talent due to a disability – whether hidden or visible.
We strive to ensure an inclusive, accessible, barrier-free work environment that supports Accenture persons with disabilities across the globe, as well as those who may need special consideration to care for a loved one with a disability.
