Howdy from Texas, Team Accenture Federal Services! Following in the footsteps of our Metro D.C and St. Louis counterparts, our San Antonio office took on the Rock Your Voice challenge. Our talented San Antonio team took center stage for an unforgettable Karaoke Happy Hour! From soulful solos to epic group performances, 30 brave souls rocked the mic and brought down the house. Rock on, San Antonio!
Our CEO, John Goodman, promised to perform karaoke if we reached a target response rate on our annual employee experience survey. Of course, our people CRUSHED it! We reached our highest-ever response rate on this year's survey. With a riveting performance of ‘Help’ by The Beatles, John Goodman literally dropped the mic this week as a thank you for record-breaking survey participation. ICYMI: Our colleagues rocked it all night long, too, with solo and group performances that were jaw-droppingly good. We’re still singing their praises.

The powerful program included our very own, Azocha Nkobena, sharing her career journey line, and recent promotion to Managing Director, our Male Allies Corner panelists- Ron Ash, Damon Bramble, & Jerome Farley--and host, Joshua Levie, and incredible table leads who shared insights, connections, and inspirations on how to begin, grow, or shape a career in technology at Accenture Federal Services.
