Prepare for your first day

Everyone remembers their first day. We want yours to be extra special.

Your New Joiner Experience at Accenture

Your first day at Accenture not only opens the door to a limitless career but also marks the moment you begin the New Joiner Experience (NJX). NJX is our reimagination of traditional onboarding. This interactive, 2-day experience connects new joiners to each other and the broader global network of Accenture. You will leave knowing what a career at Accenture is all about – innovation, connection, integrity and showing up each day as our authentic selves.

But the experience doesn't end there - NJX continues to support you through your entire first year at Accenture.

Your first day

Talk to your local contact to verify your start date, and where, what time and to whom you should report.

If you are starting your first day in-person, make sure you have accurate directions and travel times and have investigated public transportation schedules and parking options. Your office's HR rep may be able to propose the best options.

Enthusiasm and a learning mindset. And don't forget any necessary forms or documents your local contact has asked for.

Make sure not to bring to Accenture any information or documents from other employers - even if you created the documents yourself and they contain non-sensitive information.

While local customs and policies may be different around the world, Accenture employees are expected to have a professional appearance.

Your first two days are guided by an expert facilitator and are full of learning about Accenture's purpose, strategy and brand and how you belong here.

Here are some ways to make the most of your first week at Accenture:

  • Introduce yourself to your new team. Set aside time to meet with your supervisor and people lead.
  • Complete your new hire paperwork.
  • Fill out your profile on Workday.
  • Use what you know about our global structure to understand where you fit in the organization.
  • Make sure you receive the technology and tools you need to do your job.
  • Find learning resources on myLearning to explore required training and specific training for your role.
