Exceptional employee experience (EX) is about more than giving employees unlimited choices or promoting onsite climbing walls and artisan coffee. It’s about providing employees with a set of focused options that not only drive engagement but also help them to achieve their full potential and therefore drive business value.

Unleashing EXcellence

This isn’t something we just tell our clients. Within Accenture we achieved a 5% productivity uplift with just one EX-driven initiative we designed, built, and launched for our UK graduate new joiners in a single six-week sprint. This was measured in terms of time spent on client work and delivered via our approach to EX, which takes three fundamental insights from the consumer world:

1. Identify Pockets of Value

Start with the business outcomes you want to achieve.

As a talent-led business, our people are everything and time-to-productivity is a significant value lever.

In the UK, 300-500 graduates join us every year. They are smart and ambitious, but Accenture is a complex organisation with lots of moving parts to become familiar with. Accelerating the readiness of our graduates for client work has a material effect on our business performance and our 5% productivity gain was measured as a direct increase in client-billable time for this population.
