Building a Diverse, Inclusive, and Thriving Workplace

An Excellent Employee Experience as Key to Our Success

SIX is a company built on tradition, but with its eyes on the future. As a forward-looking organization that seeks to shape the future of sustainability in finance, SIX knows that a key to success is building a workforce of people that embrace diversity and inclusion, and grow and develop together in an environment where sustainable performance and  well-being go hand in hand.

One of the four pillars of the SIX Sustainability Strategy is to be an employer that makes all those things possible for their employees.  From attracting and retaining the best talent, to fostering an environment of well-being, to encouraging continuous learning, SIX works to create an environment where individuals thrive, so the company thrives.

How SIX Creates a Meaningful and Purposeful Workplace for Its Employees

SIX instills their employees with a sense of agency and encourages them to take ownership and initiative through culture initiatives such as SIX Spirit, and provides many avenues to ensure every SIX employee has a meaningful experience:  

Attract and Retain Talent:

SIX maintains a sustainable talent pipeline at all levels of the organization, recruiting the most skilled professionals from the external market and promoting and developing people from our internal talent pool. At the heart of our identity as an employer is our promise to current and future talent: 

What sets us apart drives us ahead. We're tradition and future, foundation and growth, local roots and global relevance. We value bright minds and inspire them to grow with their ideas. Shape the future of finance with us.

Foster Diversity and Inclusion

As a global company with employees in 19 countries representing more than 80 nationalities, SIX takes pride in promoting a diverse and inclusive culture that values different perspectives and fosters Group-wide collaboration.

To ensure that SIX accesses the full potential of a diverse workforce, three diversity priorities have been identified: 

  • Career diversity: To increase agility and talent mobility
  • Cultural diversity: To increase the integration of diverse cultures
  • Gender diversity: To improve male and female inclusion and representation

SIX celebrates diversity and invests in equity and inclusion through benefits designed across life stages, internal gender diversity networks, advancing women in leadership, parent programs, and an LGBTQ+ network and strategic partnerships with Advance, REDI, Open for Business, to mention a few.

Cetificates & Publications

To further strengthen these efforts, SIX has published an HR Directive on Diversity, Equity & Inclusion. The directive underlines our commitment to fairness, respect, and collaboration, and provides guidance on embedding DE&I into everyday practices and decision-making.

Invest in Continuous Development

Our employees are the most important factor in our collective success, so we offer a range of training offerings through an extended learning catalogue and access to online learning solutions to improve business and leadership skills. To optimize our succession pipeline and retain key talent, we also offer SIX employees key talent journeys. 

We strive to promote a culture of lifelong learning for every employee and encourage curiosity and personal development whenever possible, so we offer a Continuous Learning Model for growth. SIX also believes in stewarding the next generation of the workforce and offers competitive and enriching young talent programs to students, graduates and apprentices, including the opportunity to gain career insights into the company.
