Why It's on the Top 50: In its second year on the list, Accenture scored best in Corporate and Organizational Communications.
Diversity Strengths: The company has a very robust mentoring program and excellent work/life benefits, including a nursing-mothers program, a backup dependent-care program, an enhanced eldercare program, and online health coaching.
Forty-seven percent of employees are in its employee-resource groups, compared with a Top 50 average of 19 percent. Accenture has statistically unbiased retention for both its total work force and its management. This means employees are retained at relatively equal rates, regardless of race/ethnicity or gender.
Accenture gets a perfect score for communicating its diversity commitment on its web site. Global values are clearly communicated at this company, which follows the United Nations Global Compact.
William D. (Bill) Green, Chairman and CEO: "We bring Accenture's Core Values to life every day through our actions and behaviors. Our core values are the foundation of our inclusion agenda. For example, one of our Core Values is Respect for the Individual--valuing diversity, ensuring an interesting and inclusive environment and treating people as we would like to be treated ourselves. Another is Stewardship--building a heritage for future generations, acting with an owner mentality, developing people everywhere we are and meeting our commitments to all internal and external stakeholders. At Accenture, we cascade our values through active communications, leadership-development training and an array of programs that are designed to include and engage everyone."
Andre Hughes, Human Capital & Diversity Lead, U.S.: "One of our core values is one global network. I wanted to leverage those relationships and those concepts around relationships to really create a cadre of 32,000 people focused on diversity. More importantly, to evolve from only diversity speak to inclusion and diversity because I think there's this bigger opportunity when all 32,000 people really feel like they are part of the agenda. I wanted every man, every woman, in our firm to feel like this was an opportunity for them to do something significant."
