Thousands of roles at Accenture could be impacted as the company is looking to reduce at least 5 per cent of its global workforce.

Accenture has a global workforce of around 513,000 people and out of them about 200,000 are in India. The workforce reduction might have an impact on India operations.

In an emailed statement to PTI on Wedn­esday, Accenture said it was not planning “extraordinary global workforce actions” at this time.

“Every year, as part of our performance process, we have conversations with our people about how they are performing, areas for improvement, their potential to progress, and whether they are a long-term fit for the firm,” Accenture said.
