Welcome from Julie Sweet

We were all new once, even our Chair and CEO Julie Sweet. She recorded this video to welcome you and share a bit about what makes Accenture a great place to work.

The countdown is on

Once you sign your offer letter, the countdown to Accenture begins and kicks off the New Joiner Experience (NJX). NJX is Accenture’s award-winning, global onboarding program that supports you from the moment you accept your offer all the way through day-365.

This is the start of a year full of opportunities to learn, grow and connect beyond your day-to-day role.

1. Sign and return your acceptance letter

This is where it all begins.
2. Set up your Workday profile

30 days prior to your committed hire date with Accenture, you’ll get access to an onboarding dashboard with valuable information and space to complete key onboarding activities.

3. Start learning

With courses ranging from Gen AI to best practices for Teams meetings, this optional Countdown to Accenture learning pathway is a great way to prepare.

4. Dive into Accenture

You will be invited to the NJX Welcome, two days of interactive learning. This is your time to explore where you fit in at Accenture and what you want to accomplish. You’ll also participate in small group sessions to connect with your new colleagues.
5. Join our virtual campus

During your NJX Welcome, you will enter our virtual new joiner campus, One Accenture Park. Here, you'll explore the latest technology while learning about Accenture.
6. A year of opportunity

After your NJX Welcome, you’ll gain access to the Year One at Accenture site. This internal site has the tools and knowledge you need when you need them. Also during your first year, you’ll be invited each quarter to return to the metaverse for immersive learning events, to hear from senior leaders and keep growing your network, skills and knowledge.
7. Stay connected

If you've already accepted your offer, visit the Countdown to Accenture Learning Pathway to find a curated list of optional training courses. Pick and choose the courses that interest you and complete them at your own pace. With topics covering AI and software development, storytelling, networking and building relationships, there’s something for everyone. Select the 'Recruiting Candidate Sign In' option and enter your Accenture email address. Click on "Forgot Password?" to generate a new password.

You can also view the Brain Hacks series of videos for science-backed techniques to help you make the most of the time you dedicate to learning.

You’ll get an email from the Global Accenture Onboarding team inviting you to launch the Onboarding Dashboard in Workday. This dashboard includes welcome messages from our Chair and CEO Julie Sweet, your Market Lead and Manager, localized country content, and a space to complete key onboarding activities like updating personal data, completing forms, and uploading documents so you can focus instead on making connections, not paperwork, on day one. Complete the tasks in the dashboard ahead of your start date.

When you login for the first time, you’ll need to set up a new password by using the "Forgot Password" link.

If you’re joining us from India select the "Recruiting Candidate Sign In" option and use the same username and password that you used to register for the "Action Items" page.

Welcome to Accenture! Your company’s integration team is working closely with Accenture’s, and you’ll receive customized information throughout your journey to help prepare for your first day—and get you ready to grow.

If you have any questions about onboarding procedures at your location—including logging in, navigating, or completing tasks in Workday—or about the Action Items platform (India only), please contact your recruiter or onboarding representative.

Great question. Our Accommodation Support Tool streamlines the process for confidentially requesting accommodations such as assistive technologies, ergonomic equipment, flexible schedules, and more. You can also use it to raise a concern about the accessibility of a site or tool—and you will have access to it from day one.
