INNOVATIVE
To support their people, Accenture are in the process of launching an enablement passport.
The Enablement Passport is a new tool designed to help conversations between people who require reasonable adjustments and their line managers, ensuring clear and effective communication about the benefits and challenges of their condition or situation.
The tool is completely voluntary but makes it much easier for people to get the support they need and for line managers to understand their role in offering the support.
