Accenture CEO Julie Sweet has urged employees to help the company deliver a stronger fourth quarter, with the consulting giant making a one-time change to its vacation policy that allows staff to carry unused leave into the next financial year.
The move comes as Accenture seeks to strengthen sales and revenue in the final weeks of its financial year following weaker-than-expected quarterly results. According to Bloomberg, the temporary leave change is also expected to keep more employees available during the crucial August sales period.
