In her collective efforts to inspire today’s citizens toward greater professional potential, Seward utilizes her previous experiences in the business world to target and resolve key problems in the modern workforce. Some of the issues that Tracey’s efforts have become synonymous with include:
• Workplace Diversity
Over the years, the definition of workplace diversity has changed incredibly to expand and include professionals from various backgrounds. As such, Tracey Seward believes it is important to empower professionals who come from different backgrounds and experiences, such as those associated with race, gender, ethnicity, and disabilities. For Tracey, the changing nature of workplace diversity is one that signifies progress and greater opportunities for all individuals and communities; however, she also believes that there is still much progress to be made in these areas.
According to Seward, workplace diversity at Accenture is not necessarily just about maintaining a specific hiring quota of minority talent. Instead, Tracey has remained heavily focused on inclusion, providing all professionals with the confidence and resources to gain respect in the workplace and make significant contributions to business growth. Essentially, by advancing diversity and inclusion efforts, industries will be able to expand and develop to their fullest potential and become able to receive insight from all professional mindsets.
• Empowering Women Leadership
As a professional who appreciates the expansive benefits of workplace diversity, she believes it is also important to focus on gender equality within the modern workforce. Having led talks at her alma mater, Ball State University, on women in technology, Tracey Seward has utilized her own experiences as a female in a leadership role to inspire other women to embrace their potential as senior-level professionals.
While Tracey has remained a strong advocate of raising awareness on the changing role of women in the workplace, she has also helped directly encourage other female professionals to lay out new pathways for success. For instance, through Accenture’s US Supplier Development Diversity Program, she has served as a mentor to other c-Level minority business owners to encourage them toward success. This unique program has not only allowed Seward to introduce new strategic partners to Accenture, but has also helped minority owned companies gain the skills necessary to effectively lead and grown their own businesses.

Through technology, both large corporations and small businesses have proven able to become more productive, reduce costs, increase hiring, and improve communication and collaboration on a global level. While many tech-savvy companies have come to embrace new technology as an exceptional resource for business growth, she states that there is still a great need to inspire smaller businesses to upgrade their processes and take advantage of technologies. According to her, businesses that adapt to modern technological resources can remain sustainable and maintain their appeal to consumers and partners at a steady rate.
In addition to encouraging the general business community to recognize the vast potential that modern technological resources offer, Tracey is also dedicated to inspiring progress in the technology field itself.
