Accenture return to office policyEach team decides.

What the policy says.

• Accenture has long used unassigned 'hoteling' office space because consultants are usually at client sites or at home (Julie Sweet, 2020).
• Sweet (2020): remote work is here to stay at a high level, but don't sell off office space.
• Sweet (2022) promoted 'earn the commute': office time should have a clear purpose.
• June 2023: corporate-function staff were told to work from base locations by Aug 31, 2023; region unclear (India-focused outlet), so this may not apply to the US.
• Non-US (UK & Ireland): Campaign reported a hybrid policy with no set office days, driven by client and project needs.
• No US badge tracking, day count or performance tie was found.

Working to an office rule? Plan the days that matter.

The hybrid work schedule template builds a week of office days for your team: anchor days everyone shares, the rest spread so the office never overflows. Then Forgot keeps office days, remote days and vacations on one calendar, so nobody commutes in for a planning day half the team is away for.
