Diversity and inclusion
We do not aspire to be the biggest financial group. We want to be a responsible company we all feel proud to work for.
Why diversity and inclusion matters
Our corporate values of long-term thinking and responsibility naturally lead to a culture of collaboration and partnership. We are committed to making diversity and inclusion an integral part of this culture by taking every step to encourage greater diversity in the workplace and fostering an environment that allows all individuals to thrive.
Because diversity and inclusion is the collective responsibility of everyone in the organisation, we actively engage with employees about how to incorporate D&I into everyday business. All managers have a formalised D&I objective and learn how unconscious bias can impact decision making.
Self-governed networks enable employees to foster open dialogue and influence positive action, including on the subjects of race and ethnicity (Race at Work Forum) and gender advancement (Pictet Women’s Network). Specific leadership, mentoring and sponsorship programs have also been developed.
To further support our employees at different stages of their careers and lives, we offer numerous competitive benefits and policies in relation to family care, including parental leave and eldercare. Flexible working arrangements are also available to all employees to encourage work life balance.
In 2016, we created our Diversity & Inclusion Committee to promote a more inclusive culture and support a global D&I agenda. I am very proud to chair this committee.
We are proud to be on the Steering Committee of the Diversity Project. The Diversity Project is an initiative supported by the UK Investment Association to accelerate progress towards an inclusive culture in the investment profession – aiming to achieve diversity across all dimensions, including gender, ethnicity, socio-economic background, LGBTI+, age and disability.
