OUR PROGRESS ON THE PATH TO 50/50
Transparency creates trust. We publish workforce demographics in many countries around the world and report our progress globally. Here are a few highlights:
WHEN SHE RISES, WE ALL RISE
Our latest Getting to Equal research shows that creating a culture of equality unlocks women’s potential and uncovers the key drivers of a workplace culture where everyone can advance and thrive.
In organizations with a culture of equality:
4X
She is four times more likely to rise
2X
He is two times more likely to rise
51%
She could earn 51 percent more
95%
95 percent of people are satisfied with their career path
SPOTLIGHT ON YOUNG LEADERS
New findings reveal that creating a culture of equality helps young women—and men—professionals to thrive.
In organizations where the drivers are most common they are:
2X
More likely to advance to manager and above
2X
More likely to say they don’t plan to leave
It’s critical that companies create a truly human environment where people can be successful both professionally and personally—where they can be who they are and feel they belong, every day.
Ellyn Shook
Chief Leadership & Human Resources Officer, Accenture
Our research shows that in companies with cultures that include the workplace factors that help women advance, men thrive too, and we all rise together.

HOW WE'RE GETTING TO 50/50
Working flexibly
Our employees can set their start and finish times or work more hours over fewer days. They can telecommute from anywhere. And we offer part-time arrangements.
Getting connected
Employee Resource Groups (ERGs) support our women and help them build networks. Through the Accenture Women’s Network–a global online platform–our women can share advice, insights and experiences.
Developing every day
At Accenture, everyone has a designated mentor, access to a personalized internal training portal and can sign up for training on being an inclusive leader and avoiding unconscious bias. Because of this, women make up 41 percent of total participants in mentoring and development programs.
