Gender diversity
Beyond our broad commitment to diversity and equal opportunity, we recognize the significant challenges inherent in improving gender diversity within the financial technology industry, as well as the substantial benefits for businesses that succeed in meeting these challenges. We have observed these trends within our own organization, which has led us to prioritize gender diversity as a core focus of our DEI strategy.
Avaloq fosters and supports participation in colleague led initiatives like the Lean in Circles – a program from the Lean in Foundation, founded by Sheryl Sandberg. The circles centre around a variety of topics including leadership, work-life balance and professional strength assessments.
Our main goals are
Workforce: We were pleased to reach our total workforce gender goal of 30% females in FY2022, and we recognize the continued effort required to maintain and exceed this target.
Leadership: Our goal is to double the number of women in leadership positions from a 2019 baseline of 32 to 64 by the end of 2025. Diverse leaders bring unique perspectives and approaches to business, leading to enhanced levels of inclusion and performance.
Impact on local communities
The Avaloq community impact program promotes a culture of giving and community involvement. Through the program, we offer every colleague the opportunity to contribute 17 paid hours per year to volunteering efforts. The successful implementation of this program depends on colleague engagement. To foster this, we have initiated the Avaloq community projects network, a volunteer based collective of colleagues worldwide who encourage regional participation and action. We are working to give all Avaloq colleagues access to a range of skills-based and group volunteering opportunities through partnerships with local charities. At the same time, our program offers colleagues the flexibility to use their volunteering hours to support causes that are personal to them.
Developing our colleagues
We are accelerating our colleagues’ personal and professional development by delivering high quality learning experiences calibrated for different levels of need and skill. We believe a learning culture is vital for driving our organizational success and facilitating the growth of Avaloq as a business.
