“We’re also looking forward to inspiring others and helping to set different expectations of what a modern family looks like. Our road to parenthood is helping to break stigmas and the support of employers like Accenture is playing a role in making that possible.” Daniel Montgomery-Morgan shares his story of preparing for fatherhood with his husband via surrogacy and how Accenture’s commitment to inclusive #familyfriendly policies are helping during this transition.
Are you curious about what working at Accenture in the #cybersecurity field would be like? Monica Vorster says, “Joining Accenture was such a welcoming experience. Both within the security practice and the graduate intake I joined with, it felt like I gained an instant network. It was like “Hi, welcome to the family, in you come!” Everyone’s been so friendly and it’s so easy to reach out across the organisation for help.”
“I have found Accenture to be very supportive of my part-time work arrangements. I find myself surrounded by clients, co-workers and leadership who are all willing to embrace a part-time work culture. Support from my team leaders and peers plays a key role in making part time work arrangements a success. I’ve now worked at several employers in a part-time capacity and I think being clear on what you need and what you can offer really helps.” Find out more about Gunjan Mehta’s story as we put a spotlight on how Accenture is supporting families.
“Our reasons for being a #FamilyFriendly Workplace are simple — when people feel supported to balance their work and family commitments, they're able to thrive and excel in all areas of their life. We also know that providing our people with flexible options and making family policies available to all parents, regardless of gender, helps to challenge stereotypes and advances #genderequality.” Hear more from our Chief Human Resources Officer, Sarah Kruger, as we put a spotlight on how Accenture is supporting families.
Do you feel like university is giving you the theory but not the practical skills? Accenture's #TechBootcamp is designed to give uni students the chance to build experience on real-world projects with support from our mentors, like Jay Motwani. He shares his insights on what to expect from Tech Bootcamp and how to get the most out of the experience.
“One of the most important things I’ve realised since joining Accenture is that my soft skills are what allow me to bring value, and that technical skills can be easily learnt. I thought the learning systems within defence were robust, but Accenture is next level.” At Accenture, we value the diverse life experience our people bring, and #veterans are no exception. Adam G. shares his story of transitioning from an 18-year career in the Australian Army to corporate life.
