Accenture Allows Vacation Carryover to Support Q4 Sales Push Amid Revenue Challenges
Accenture has allowed employees to carry over unused vacation days into the next fiscal year, a one-time change aimed at encouraging staff to work through August and support a strong fourth quarter. CEO Julie Sweet urged employees to increase client service and sales amid a challenging quarter marked by a 2% drop in new bookings and a revenue forecast below analyst expectations. The policy shift is part of a broader effort to boost business before the fiscal year ends on August 31.
