NEW YORK--(Business Wire)--
DiversityInc, which has run The DiversityInc Top 50 Companies for Diversity® for
10 years, has named Accenture (NYSE: ACN) the Top Company for Generational

William D. Green, Accenture`s Chairman and CEO, accepted the award at this

is generational communications," said Luke Visconti, CEO of DiversityInc.

leader and demonstrated remarkable leadership in critical areas. Its efforts to
broaden leadership styles, management styles and perceptions across generations
make it a trailblazer in this increasingly critical area."

"We work hard to appreciate the differences among all of our people -- including
among generations -- and we focus on creating an environment where everyone can
work together," said LaMae Allen de Jongh, managing director, U.S. Human Capital
& Diversity at Accenture. "That means using our common core values and
methodologies to work effectively across different geographies, workforces and
generations. When we do it right, we deliver diverse thoughts and perspectives,
as well as flexibility and agility, that really set Accenture apart."

This year, Accenture was also named to The DiversityInc Top 50 Companies for
Diversity list for the third consecutive year. Additionally, DiversityInc
