NEW YORK; June 27, 2022 – Accenture (NYSE: ACN) has been recognized as the top service provider for employee experience in the latest report from industry analyst firm HFS Research.
The “HFS Top 10: Employee Experience Services” report assessed 12 service providers, examining how they are evolving their practices to support the rapidly changing dynamics of employee experience and HR services within organizations.
