Accenture Links AI Adoption To Promotion Decisions

Accenture is monitoring employees' use of company AI tools and will factor "regular adoption" into promotion decisions, Reuters reported, citing internal communications in late 2025. The Dublin-headquartered consultancy trained about 550,000 of its roughly 780,000 employees in generative AI and formed partnerships with OpenAI and Anthropic to scale AI services. CEO Julie Sweet warned employees not adopting AI may be asked to exit, underscoring talent and training implications.
