Between May and August 2025, Accenture reduced its global headcount by over 11,000 employees, resulting in a total of approximately 779,000 employees. The layoffs predominantly targeted roles that could not be reskilled to meet the company's rapidly growing need for advanced AI-driven capabilities.
In the September 25, 2025, earnings call, CEO Julie Sweet explained that for many positions, "reskilling, based on our experience, is not a viable path for the skills we need," confirming that the exits were part of a broader strategy to align talent with Accenture’s AI transformation.
This marks a significant shift in corporate strategy, as large-scale consulting firms decisively prioritize AI-driven efficiency over attempting to reskill every affected employee.
