“Around the world, our employees completed more than three million learning activities last year.”
Our in-house UBS University helps our employees build skills to use now, along with new capabilities for the future. We offer industry-leading certification for client advisors and regulatory, business and line manager training alongside modules on culture, sustainable finance, artificial intelligence, data literacy, well-being and other topics. Our innovative learning platform makes AI-powered training recommendations based on an employee’s needs and interests, and a new collaboration with a leading external provider now enables us to offer thousands of additional learning opportunities to all staff. Altogether, our permanent employees completed more than three million learning activities in 2024 (including mandatory training on compliance, business, and other topics) – an average of 24.8 training hours per employee.
We invest in our employees’ development and help them grow their careers. We aim to create a culture of cross-divisional and international mobility for early-career talent, mid-career professionals and senior leaders.
Managers promote individual development and job mobility by having regular development-focused check-ins with their employees to drive growth. Support is provided through our UBS My Career platform – promoting a suite of self-service tools available on demand to explore career paths and short-term rotation opportunities, search for jobs and connect with mentors. In 2024, 53% of all roles were filled by internal candidates and more than 55,000 employees accessed our internal job board.
We take a systematic and meritocratic approach to talent management, including structured talent and succession reviews to help us identify versatile leaders, ensure business continuity and proactively manage employee development. We also offer Group-wide, divisional and function-specific talent development programs at all career stages.
