Voices of change 2021
The Voices of Change movement was born at the 2017 One Young World Summit when Accenture and Thomson Reuters identified an opportunity to leverage their networks and experience to create a lasting and impactful change.
A drive to a more equal society is more difficult today than ever. Women are still significantly under-represented in the workplace (47 percent vs. 74 percent of men globally), with less than 10 percent making it into top leadership. South Africa mirrors these trends: unemployment rates among women are higher across all races; women are more susceptible to retrenchment; and they are paid less. To fast track gender parity, powerful organisations must come together and share a set of values across their organisations to strengthen the value proposition of gender equality needed to build a more powerful, economically inclusive future.
Getting to equal
Diversity is an important cornerstone of Accenture’s business. It makes us stronger and more innovative. We believe a culture of equality is one in which everyone—regardless of age, ability, ethnicity and race, gender identity and expression, religion or sexual orientation—can bring their whole selves to work and thrive.
At Accenture, our goal is to achieve a 50/50 gender split by 2025. We are well on our way to achieving this target. Building a culture of equality is not just an ethical imperative, but a business priority. If organizations want to thrive, they have to “get to equal.”
Our annual Getting to Equal research aims to uncover insights that can help organisations accelerate achieving a culture of equality. Accenture's new gender equality report explains differing perceptions on inclusive workplace culture & how leaders can drive a culture of equality.
