Accenture Says ‘Inclusion Starts With I’
Written by Sheryl Estrada on June 26, 2017
Accenture follows an open and transparent policy and communication in regard to diversity and inclusion, as both are fundamental to its culture and core values. Ellyn Shook, Accenture’s chief leadership and human resources officer, said the global company, which has a U.S. workforce that is more than 50 percent ethnically diverse, wants to ensure employees feel like they belong. “We have really been trying to take a step in our journey around inclusion and diversity to really explore the sense of belonging our people feel,” Shook told DiversityInc on Friday. “We would like to be the most inclusive and diverse company on the planet. We have created an inclusive culture where we’re seeing inclusive teams and we’re seeing inclusive actions.” So, she said the next step was to ask, “Did our people really feel like they belong?” In order to answer that question, Shook, who is responsible for helping 411,000 employees succeed both professionally and personally, said Accenture decided to create an internal video that profoundly explored the question of inclusiveness. But, in the process of creating the video, “Inclusion Starts With I,” it was discovered that “not all of our people are experiencing a sense of belonging,” she said. “Some of what we’re seeing is coming from what might be surprising places in our organization.” In the video, a group of Accenture people demonstrates that bias can appear in both expected and unexpected ways.
