Under Rekha’s leadership, Accenture in India is proud to be a corporate leader supporting the LGBT+ community. She is focused on providing equal opportunities for recruitment, career progression, professional development and benefits, and creating an inclusive work environment where their people feel comfortable, respected and safe. They achieve this by celebrating the LGBT+ community, including allies, at internal and external events, openly talking about pride, or simply displaying the colours of the rainbow on LGBT+ Ally badges. Additionally, their facilities across India include all gender restrooms, and they recently added gender re-assignment surgery to their medical insurance policy to support Transgender employees. Externally, Rekha has actively driven involvement in local LGBT+ themed events like facilitating sessions at the WorkPlace Pride (WPP) in Chennai, enabling employees to be a part of India’s first ever LGBT+ choir in Mumbai and supporting the Transgender community and other minorities through a skilling program which they run with empanelled NGOs.
