Intro
Accenture’s purpose is to deliver on the promise of technology and human ingenuity. Clearly, talented people are core to this purpose and the delivery of said promise. The word “promise” articulates the shared values of the Accenture family. It’s about a better future, the promise of a better future.This purpose is forward-looking for employees as it is for clients. The firm is keenly aware that while a company chooses its people only once; they choose it every day. To be worthy of that choice, Accenture’s commitment is to them as human beings first—to achieve their aspirations and succeed professionally and personally. The aim is to create an environment where people’s ingenuity can be unleashed.
Employees bring skills, curiosity and their best true self to work, match them with the latest and greatest technologies to make incredible things and create impact.
People—the Heart of Policies and Practices
Fundamental to Accenture's core values is caring deeply for its people. All HR policies and practices are founded upon four key pillars—heart, mind, soul and body—creating a conducive work environment where employees feel safe and supported to be their best selves, continuously thriving.An inclusive and diverse culture
- Recruitment - Retaining ethnically and racially diverse talent and advancing careers amidst a Code of Business Ethics (COBE) ensures working together as a team with trust and efficiency
- Gender diversity - Over 52 percent of the workforce are women, well ahead of the goal to achieve a gender-balanced workforce by 2025.
- Supporting PWD (Persons with Disability) communities – Constantly building awareness about workplace accessibility. In September 2021, 120 people signed up to learn Sign Language.
All employees are assigned a Career Counselor to advise and guide them on their personal and professional development within the firm. They help align expectations, craft career progression and together, explore internal transfer opportunities to different services or countries.
Increasing Employees’ Technology Quotient (TQ)
This year, Accenture invested US$900 million to keep employees abreast of technology trends and industry demands in an ever-changing market. Its five regional learning hubs, 91 connected classrooms, over 24,000 online courses and 2,700 learning boards offer 24/7 access to rapid upskilling, mentoring and support to secure Cloud certifications (Microsoft, Azure, Google, AWS and more) and also Data and AI learning opportunities through leading institutions such as the Alan Turing Institute, MIT, ESSEC, INSEAD and UC Berkley.
To date, 77% of the Accenture Malaysia workforce is certified and well-versed in TQ, greatly due to firm-wide training to ensure everyone understands and speaks fluently about transformative technologies such as artificial intelligence, cloud, data and security, and their impact on the world.
Addressing Employees' Challenges and Evolving Needs
In many ways, the COVID-19 pandemic significantly altered lives. Accenture recognises that these times require unparalleled personal and professional support for its workforce as its people continue to give their best.#BERSAMA, a culture change programme was birthed by leaders seeing the impact of the pandemic and remote working on their people. It engages employees from all levels to affect change and growth, with emphasis on connection, rest, mental wellbeing and collaboration.
Key initiatives include:

- Executive coaching development program for leadership team members to remain supported and aligned to grow Accenture Malaysia further.
- Sending 5,000 care packs with personalised message cards to employees' homes.
- Rolling out over 16 Mental Health Month initiatives to raise awareness and provide avenues to cope with stress and burnout:
- Virtual mental resilience building sessions
- “The Pulse”, an internal radio show that highlights and celebrates employee's uniqueness and ingenuity in their personal and professional lives
- No-Internal-Meetings Fridays
