Internal Comms: Information Sharing: Securing Candidate Data 101
Published: Training Material
In the fast-paced world of Accenture recruitment, storing and sharing CVs and other confidential information are tasks we're all familiar with, so to make sure you're keeping secure in your day-to-day processes, follow this as a guide:
1. Know the Data Classification and standard of protection required
Ask yourself, who is the content being shared with?
What kind of content is being shared?
Does it need to be classified as confidential or protected for internal use?
More details on the different data classifications and protections can be found here.
2. Know Your content
Not all emails and documents require the same classification. Is there mention of salary or details/ data that can be used to influence business or hiring decisions?
We need to classify based on the sensitivity and confidentiality of an email or document.
3. Audience and Destination
Before you hit 'send,' on an email or decide to store a document, ask yourself:
Is it personal data or just general skills?
Is it meant for public viewing or strictly internal eyes at a certain career level?
Could the content influence hiring decisions significantly and am I sending it to the right person?...

Internal comms: The Power of Meeting Team Members in a Global Remote Team
Published: Accenture Sourcing Hub Newsletter
Being social is part of being human and working in a large, global, remote team like the Sourcing Hub offers incredible opportunities to tap into diverse perspectives, skills, and experiences of others. Also, remote work has become an essential way to collaborate across borders and time zones, however, it also comes with its unique set of challenges.
One powerful way to foster unity and maximise productivity within such teams is by engaging in the process of meeting new team members and understanding our differences.
But how do you get to know 80+ people?
Well, let’s explore some ways to meet at least 1 person! We'll also look at the benefits of meeting other team members and how they can help us cope with anything we face as a supportive community.
1. Europe Sourcing Newsletter - We will include a 'Meet the Team' section in the newsletter showcasing the forms of interesting facts several of you have filled! (Read, react and reach out!)
2. Sourcing Hub Coffee Roulette - The small but powerful team behind this initiative do well to create a schedule enabling new conversations on new topics every month!
3. A message in the #EuropeSourcingBantz Teams chat - You never know who has experienced the same thing as you; if you’re facing a challenge or have some good news to share, drop it in the chat, people react and respond publicly and privately.
And what exactly is the power and benefit of meeting team members?
1. Creating a Sense of Belonging
In a remote team, it's easy to feel isolated and disconnected from colleagues who may be thousands of miles away. When we take time to understand each other's backgrounds, cultures, and values, it helps to make everyone feel valued.
This, in turn, leads to improved collaboration, and increased motivation to work together effectively.
2. Promoting Diversity and Sensitivity
Diversity within a team brings a wide array of viewpoints and approaches to problem-solving...

Internal Comms: Training Material for Accenture
Over the span of two years at Accenture, I played an integral role in developing and delivering training materials on key topics such as GDPR compliance, recruitment strategies, employee relations, and wellbeing initiatives.
My contributions included crafting training scripts, providing voiceovers, and conducting virtual training sessions. While I'm unable to showcase the videos due to confidentiality, I'm proud of the impact these materials had in enhancing organisational knowledge and professional development.

Internal Comms: The Power of Recognition on Workplace Success & Happiness
Published: Accenture Sourcing Hub Newsletter
In the day and age, where #FursDay photos 🐈 and coffee in the morning☕ brings us joy, and GIFs are a common choice of communication to express ourselves, recognition holds a special place. I’d like us to understand the importance of recognition in the workplace, learn how to share more of it, and of course, use data to tell the story of its significance.🥸
It...
1. Boosts Employee Engagement🤩 - Employee engagement is crucial for a company's success, as it leads to increased productivity, commitment, and positive vibes all around! According to a survey by Globoforce, 78% of employees would work harder if they received recognition. The study also revealed that 89% of employees who received recognition in the last month felt satisfied with their jobs.
2. Increases Productivity and Performance💪 - This benefits both individuals and the organisation as a whole. Research conducted by Bersin & Associates demonstrated that organisations with effective employee recognition programs had 14% higher employee productivity than those without.
3. Creates a team and an organisation you’re proud to be a part of🫂 - You’re here because you’re talented at what you do, so feel empowered to ask for feedback as well as give meaningful feedback to others. The WorkHuman Research Institute found that employees who receive recognition are 23.5% more likely to stay with their organisations.
To conclude, Recognition is a powerful tool that drives employee engagement, enhances productivity and performance, and fosters a positive company culture.
And not just partial feedback, for example: “You’re doing a great job!” but making it meaningful! So that means it’s timely, authentic, and specific; you make it personal, frequent and from your own experience with the individual(s).
✨Accenture’s Recognise program also introduced ‘The Inclusion Advisor’: the Industry’s first and only AI-driven in-the-moment coaching tool that offers micro-coaching to foster a culture of continuous learning when leaving feedback!✨...

Good morning Sourcing Hub,
Do you ever feel tired or unproductive at work? Keep reading - you wouldn't be alone! It's not uncommon to reach a midday slump or for energy levels to change after a weekend or break away from work. But don't lose hope or your focus - there are several tips and tricks to tackle this feeling from implementing an ideal night-time routine for better sleep to ensuring you have a balanced diet and regular physical exercise for energy.
But I will be sharing a tip as old as time, a tip that several scientific studies have shown a short one can have a positive impact on both your physical and mental health - that's a lot of relaxation packed into just a few minutes! 😊
Stress Less Tip for the Month
HAVE YOU TRIED A NAP?
You may think napping during the day is a no-no, especially in such a large organisation, but studies have shown that a quick snooze (not a full-on sleep session) can improve your cognitive function by up to 34%![1] That means, you can actually be more productive by taking a nap!
Napping can also reduce your stress levels and help if you're ever feeling a little grumpy or groggy by triggering the release of endorphins to boost your mood and overall wellbeing.
Of course, you don't want to overdo it as a nap that's too long can make you feel worse and less productive, so if you’re ever feeling a lack of energy or focus, set a timer for no longer than 10-20 mins and have a nap or rest your eyes. After all, a well-rested employee is a productive employee!

External Comms: Accenture Life (LinkedIn)
My time in Accenture has allowed me to join some incredible training, engaging events, and exhibitions, all in the✨ metaverse!✨
And just like I'd do in reality - I had to take a few selfies.📸
This is the way the world is headed and Accenture leaders Michael Blitz and- Marc Carrel-Billiard have discussed the impact that hashtag#Web3 and the hashtag#metaverse will have on the internet for individuals and businesses.
Here are a few steps companies can take to prepare for transformation: https://lnkd.in/eEgrdh8T.
***********
#WorldMentalHealthDay reflections: Life is a marathon, not a sprint, right? 🏃♀️ 💨 So it's crucial to pause and prioritise our mental well-being, on our journey and amid the workplace's hustle.
The learning culture in the Accenture Sourcing Hub, means I've been encouraged to express my creativity and passion for fostering positive work environments, through regular sharing of ✨ stress-less tips. ✨ So here's one to slow things down if you need:
Schedule a mindfulness break!
Breaks boost efficiency and reduce stress, but adding mindfulness naturally elevates a break (and your dopamine levels too).
So whether it's a deep-breathing exercise or a quick walk, digesting a healthy, yummy snack, or soaking in some incredible Black History Month content, doing something intentional with your lunch, or calling a friend - these moments of joy can work wonders in your week!
Excited to share more tips because a healthy mind can fuel productivity! 💪

Internal Comms: Stress Less Email Newsletter
Article: Accenture Internal Comms Email Newsletter
Hello Sourcing Hub,
Negativity is all around us – not the most orthodox way to start an email about less stress, but I will make it make sense. 😊 Unpleasant thoughts or situations are part of the human experience, but we can use them to learn about ourselves, or to even motivate ourselves.
Sure, there may be some days you don’t feel your best; there are several different factors that cause this and impact us all differently! It’s no wonder that 2 individuals going through the same experience could end up with very different perspectives based on their own processing of information and past experiences. My tip today (like last month’s positive thinking tip) will hopefully reduce the creeping pessimism or “negative vibes” that can so easily take over everyday life.
Moving forwards here’s something to consider, if you don’t already, to make your week a little easier, more productive and with less stress - it’s about reframing situations:
Stress Less Tip for the Month
'
REFRAMING NEGATIVE THOUGHTS & SITUATIONS AT WORK
Reframing is a positive psychology method that allows people to change their view on a situation – so stressful sights and bad days become moments of inner bravery, strength or growth.
The key to reframing is being aware of your thought processes and any patterns you catch yourself doing when something goes wrong (for example, I missed my calendar notification to post this email earlier this month and could have gone down a negative path of feeling disappointed and thinking, “I will never post again!”)
• Is this a realistic thought?
• Is this thought based on feelings or out of habit or do any facts support it?
• Is this situation black and white, or is more complicated than I thought?
• Can I do anything to fix it or prevent it from happening again?
The ultimate goal is to acknowledge that negative situations/ events will happen, and you cannot change the past or actions of others, but you can shift to a more positive mindset, focused on the present and what needs to be done. If you catch yourself in a negative thought, you can test out some of these questions and work towards overcoming negative situations...

Newsletter Article: Sweet Dreams are made of Zzzz💤
Newsletter: Accenture Internal Comms Wellbeing
Everyone is constantly juggling various aspects of life, from work and family to relationships and meal choices. Sometimes, it can feel like an endless loop throughout the day until you finally lay your head on the pillow for what should be a restful night's sleep.
But, are you genuinely getting a good night's sleep?🤔
Sleep is not just a luxury, but a necessity to be your best, as a well-rested mind is better equipped to handle stress, improves emotional resilience and helps you to navigate challenges with a clear head. Let's dig a little deeper shall we...
💤 Become a Productivity Powerhouse: Quality sleep directly impacts your productivity - think about making your favourite breakfast dish after a late night compared to an early night (one feels like it requires A LOT more effort!😩)
When you are well-rested, you can maintain focus for longer periods, keep your high energy levels throughout the day, and complete tasks more efficiently. This in turn improves your personal performance.
💤 Beware of the Caffeine Chronicles: The hero of many workday mornings is… caffeine! While many people feel a well-timed cup of coffee can instantly jumpstart your day, it's essential to use your coffee time wisely. Too much caffeine, especially regularly in the afternoon, could interfere with the balance of your sleep cycle, and this doesn't help too much with productivity. Like any superhero, it has its limits, so it helps to let caffeine (in all its forms - chocolate, tea, soda etc.) wear off before bedtime.
💤 Use Sleep as a Shield: Good sleep is like a sharpening stone for your mind. During the various sleep cycles, your brain consolidates memories, processes information, and enhances your cognitive functions. This means that after a good night's sleep, you wake up with a sharper mind, crucial for working effectively.
So, as you go through the routines and plans in your daily life, remember that a good night's sleep can contribute to how you feel and perform in the day, and caffeine could be more like an occasional guest star in your life, rather than the main act.☕🍫🫖...
