Accenture introduces flexible leave policy

Bengaluru: Accenture India has introduced a new leave policy effective September 1, which is aligned to the requirements of different states, and to employees’ base location.

“The renewed policy gives you the flexibility to plan your leave for the things that matter the most to you, helping you manage your time in an “always-on” world…In our new leave structure, you can take small and big time-offs – for everything from running a small errand to attending your child’s recital to taking longer time off to care for a loved one or climb that mountain you’ve been training for,” Lakshmi Chandrasekharan, managing director and lead – human resources in Accenture India, wrote in an email to its 3 lakh employees in the country.
