Our employees

UBS invests in its employees – increasing their value to both the firm and its clients.

UBS relies on the expertise and commitment of its employees to deliver the solutions and the quality of service demanded by its clients. “Human capital return on investment” is used by UBS as an indicator of the increase in skill and productivity of its workforce, in combination with financial performance.

In 2007, UBS’s human capital return on investment showed a decrease for the year. Following a steady increase from 2002 until the first half of 2007, its return on investment declined in the second half of 2007. This decrease is principally the result of a continued investment in the bank’s workforce despite the quick and steep deterioration in market conditions in the second half of 2007. This investment, however, should prove to be central to UBS’s ability to grow when market conditions stabilize. The firm invests in developing and motivating its employees, whether they are new hires, seasoned employees, key talent or senior managers.
