We are committed to being a diverse and inclusive workplace based on meritocracy and aim to build a culture of belonging, where all employees are recognized and valued, and where everyone can be successful and thrive. At UBS, we aim to hire and retain the best people for the right roles, to deliver for our clients, our businesses, our shareholders and the communities we serve. In order to achieve this, we have a diverse workforce with a variety of skills, experiences and backgrounds that reflects the diversity of our clients to serve them at our best. It is also critically important to us that we respect an environment where all our employees are treated fairly and able to reach their potential. In every location in which we operate, we continue to act in accordance with the current law and regulations and will monitor any changes to ensure we remain consistent.
Our workforce inclusion strategy is built on four pillars: transparency, hiring, developing and belonging. We leverage these four pillars to help support our entire workforce across a variety of personal characteristics including, but not limited to, gender, culture, race, ethnicity, sexual orientation and identity, disability, family, veteran status, and generations, to create an inclusive culture for everyone.
Our employees want to be heard, and they’re actively involved in shaping their daily experience. We provide opportunities throughout the year to give feedback in large-group and targeted surveys, along with virtual focus groups, and to connect with management on topics such as strategic alignment, employee engagement, well-being, our work environment and line manager effectiveness. Our 2024 Group-wide survey, for example, assessed cultural-health indicators such as line manager effectiveness and employee engagement. An 83% engagement score in that survey confirmed that our employees continue to recommend us as an employer, and, in fact, our scores were above the financial services benchmark.1
We use formal and informal employee input to continuously improve our people-management processes and to focus on topics that matter to employees.
