In our first issue for 2009, we are happy to report on two more big ticks of approval Accenture has received for being a great place to work. We have heart-warming stories for you to read from our team in the Philippines and from our employees who put their heads and hearts into the work they do. Take a look at the happy snaps from our exhilarating 2009 Accenture Experience events (and see photos from Australia's recent Accenture Adventure event on our Facebook page!). But not before you've played our Core Values game on Moving Forward, our new Australian Graduate careers site. Last but not least, be sure to measure your very own environmental footprint through our online Eco Challenge tool.             Spotlight on Success Accenture one of Fortune's "100 Best Companies to Work For" "A place where employees trust the people they work for, have pride in what they do and enjoy the people they work with." That was the criteria set by Fortune Magazine for defining its list of the top 100 companies to work for in the US. In related news, see how we were named the Australian Employer of Choice in 2008.       Spotlight on People Eileen's visit brings health and hope to Bangladesh villagers "What a difference a week can make," says Eileen, a Singapore HR senior specialist, who recently visited a Bangladesh village to assist two doctors on a medical mission. They were able to help people suffering from pains due to long-term manual labor, skin problems from poor hygiene, and gastritis from malnutrition.       Mary Anne: An ideas person guided by her head and heart "Leadership is about building an inclusive community. Relationships and culture do more to motivate people than a salary increase," Mary Anne, a dedicated member of an Accenture training team in Manila, tells us. Read how she has helped to develop Accenture leadership programs, and to encourage culture building.        In the Forefront The Philippines BPO team ACTing for a better tomorrow Shining the light on education, the environment, livelihoods, and emergency relief for Filipinos, the Accenture Caring for Tomorrow (ACT) program took Accenture people out of the office in 2008, and put them in touch with people living in poverty.
