For the 11th consecutive year, Accenture has been named to Working
Mother’s Best Companies list. The list recognizes companies that
offer family-friendly benefits as part of a flexible workplace.
This year, Chloe Barzey was included as Accenture’s Working Mother of
the Year and was honored at the Working Mother award gala in New York
this week. A managing director based in Atlanta, Chloe has an electrical
engineering degree from Cornell University and an MBA from Wharton. She
has been with Accenture for 15 years and focuses on serving clients in
the Communications industry.
“Working Mother’s list is increasingly important as it focuses attention
on great companies, best practices and high performers,” said Chloe
Barzey, managing director, Accenture. “Every day I work with and learn
from incredible moms and, as we all strive to achieve our own
definitions of success, it’s important to recognize the women – and
their companies – who work so hard and to honor the impact mentoring,
sponsorship and flexibility have on career success.”
In addition to honoring Chloe, Working Mother focused on
Accenture’s Women’s Employee Resource Group, which drives initiatives to
support women and help them build strong networks, both within Accenture
and with the broader community. Currently, Accenture has more than 85
local women’s networking groups in 32 countries.
Additionally, Working Mother recognized Accenture’s dedication to
military veteran recruitment, focusing on the company’s membership in
the 100,000
Jobs Mission, which aims to support hiring 100,000 transitioning
service members and military veterans by 2020.
“With approximately 275,000 people worldwide, Accenture’s culture is
diverse in the broadest possible sense,” said Nellie Borrero, managing
director – Global Inclusion & Diversity, Accenture. “This recognition
from Working Mother underscores our commitment not only to
our working mothers and their families, but to providing flexible work
options to support all of our people and help them achieve success at
work and at home.”
