"To be truly relevant to our Wealth Management clients, we need to be able to step into their world and "live a day in their lives". Our clients come from different cultures and backgrounds. Diversity is needed to help us truly understand our clients' needs and deliver relevant solutions."
Kathryn Shih, Head Wealth Management Asia Pacific, Member of the GMB
„Going forward we need to much better align talent diversity with client diversity; it is just best practice in actively managing the resources we need in order to successfully turn our business ambitions into achievements.”
Alain Robert, Head Wealth Management & Business Banking Switzerland, Member of the GMB
"In the U.S., our diversity initiatives have grown out of the business, our community relations area, and our Human Resources policy and employee programs areas. We recognize that our work environment must be appealing and welcoming to our employees, and we are committed to reinforcing this within our organization. To be an Employer of Choice, you need to make people feel good about the company they work for. We want people to choose us. But they won’t unless they view our company as an attractive place to work - a place that values everyone’s contributions. Diversity is an important part of making that happen."
Robert Wolf, Chairman and CEO, UBS Group Americas / President and COO Investment Bank, Member of the GEB
"UBS in Germany has made the development of one identity and a strong corporate culture as "We, UBS" one of its 4 strategic priorities. Diversity is used as a catalyst to create this open culture, in which all employees can bring their unique perspective to contribute to the overall success of one UBS organization. We feel that by making Diversity one of our focus areas we are well prepared to succeed in the dynamic environment we are operating in."
Juerg Zeltner, Head Wealth Management North, East & Central Europe, Member of the GMB
