We know how important it is for our employees to strike a balance between their work and personal lives.

Various technological innovations, from laptops, wireless phones and Internet access to e-mail, combined with Accenture’s serious commitment to flexibility in the workplace, allow us to offer our people a flexible approach —giving them options as to how and where they do their work.

Work arrangements

Flexible working arrangements must be driven by a business need and are determined in each country to take into account local practice, culture and law. Currently, Accenture has flexible work arrangements—–such as flex time, part-time, job sharing, telecommuting/home working—in more than 30 countries around the world.

Working away from home location

Work/life balance is also an issue where significant professional travel is involved, which is often the case for many of our consulting people. Fly-backs and client-site flexible work arrangements help our professionals balance work and life when they are working away from their home location.

Video conferencing

Accenture is striving to reduce the amount of travel required by our employees by rolling out a variety of video-conferencing technologies such as Telepresence, a ‘like being there’ video conference solution, and RoundTable, a 360-degree visual conferencing tool, that help to connect face-to-face with remote teams in real-time.
