WOM EN AT ACCENTURE VIDEO TRANSCRIPT HO WING YAN Manager Hi, my name is Wing Yan and I’m a Management Consulting Manager with Accenture Malaysia. As a Change Manager, my role is to manage projects or change initiatives impacting the people side of things. This includes managing resistance to changes in business processes, systems, job roles and organization structures. True to Accenture’s core value – Respect for the Individual, I’ve never experienced any gender discrimination as a woman working in Accenture. There have been times where I’ve been the only lady in the project team, or the minority in a meeting room filled with male colleagues or clients; 7 and at none of these times I witnessed discrimination or the lack of my voice being heard. Also, Accenture Malaysia recently increased its maternity leave from 60 to 90 days, definitely making it a great place to work for working mothers. I was part of the team that established the Big Sister program for the Resources Operating Group in Malaysia. The purpose of this program is to provide women in Accenture an informal platform to connect at the professional and personal level, and with the aim to empower Accenture Women across all career levels. It was really encouraging to see many women in Accenture willing to volunteer their time to be a “Big Sister”, and to be paired with a “Little Sister” whom they can mentor and support informally. I’ve received many positive feedback from this program, especially on how the connection was genuine and how they now have each other to support each other through their careers ups and downs. For me, the one word that best describes Accenture would be “Opportunity.”
