Accenture employs over 740,000 people in 49 countries worldwide to help businesses and governments build a digital core. In recent years, Accenture has been laser-focused on how to attract a diverse and competitive labor force, and it’s hoping to lead by example. 45% of its board of directors are women, and about 45% are racially diverse. Women make up about half the company’s workforce and 30% of its managing directors. Accenture also has a dollar-for-dollar, 100% pay equity, measured in annual reviews, which means women earn the equivalent of men in every country in which the group operates. Over the next three years, it has pledged a $3 billion investment into data and AI practices. Accenture hasn’t been immune to cost-cutting pressures across the tech sector, however. In March 2023, the company slashed 19,000 jobs, about 2.5% of its workforce.

Accenture celebrates its 15th year on the Best Companies list thanks in part to its implementation of new mental health resources and continuation of its apprenticeship program. The professional services company emphasizes internal transparency with its Raise a Concern site, where workers can easily find support for issues, track how the investigation process works, and see how similar concerns were handled. It’s paid off, as nine out of 10 employees say that management is “honest and ethical” in its practices. In an effort to expand the talent pool, Accenture met its goal to fill more than 20% of fiscal hires this past year from the ranks of its apprenticeship program, a majority of whom don’t hold four-year degrees. In response to issues of social injustice and worker burnout, Accenture began its Building Bridges conversations, where employees were encouraged to talk about race, gender, and identity. The massive tech firm also announced in late March that it was laying off 19,000 workers globally, about 3% of its workforce.

Employees say:
"Accenture is a phenomenal place to work. The open culture and inclusive nature the company of all members of the team, regardless of career level, allows us to collab and innovate [at] levels that are unparalleled compared to other companies I have worked for. Working with my team feels like working with close family and friends, and we are connected not just by our project, but as people who know and care about each other outside of the office as well."

Employees say:
"Accenture has a true learning culture where learning, growth mindset, and innovation are truly valued. You can also create the career you want to have here... if you see something/have an interest that you would like to pursue, you have access to resources (learning & people) to make the next best career move for you. Also, Accenture is bold and unapologetic about the causes that it supports and also has so many women leaders at the top. This is visible leadership in the areas of diversity and community. I love working here for these reasons!"

Employees say:
"Accenture treats us not just as employees, but as human beings. Our abilities will not be underestimated just because we are women or a mother."

Employees say:
"Incredible autonomy. We can choose our own projects and direct our own destinies. This is very empowering and allows me to feel in charge of the direction of my career and the skills and experiences I am accumulating."
