All not well at Accenture
BANGALORE: Green shoots? Honeywell and Accenture don���t appear to be seeing any. The former has announced that its employees will have to take a mandatory ten days off in December-January without pay. And the latter has just issued a statement that it will lay-off 7% of its senior executive workforce.
Honeywell employees in India said that Krishna Mikkilineni, president of Honeywell Technology Solutions, conveyed the decision at a public gathering in Bangalore recently.

In the case of Accenture, the company���s global CEO William Green said in a company release on Thursday: ������We are acting boldly to position Accenture better for both short-term and long-term economic improvement growth and profitability.������ The 7% workforce reduction would mean over 300 senior executives would be laid-off. The company globally has about 177,000 employees, of which 4,800 are senior-executive employees. The Accenture release said it will also reduce excess office space globally.
Accenture had not replied to a mail from TOI asking about the extent to which its Indian operations would be affected by the move.
