Diversity, equity & inclusion

Employee diversity, equity and inclusion are embedded in the Migros Group’s strategy. A good work-life balance is ensured at all levels through specific measures.

In 2023, Migros employed people from around 170 countries, of which 58 % were women and 42 % men. 49 % of employees worked part time and 28 % were above the age of 50.

The Migros Group actively promotes equal opportunities. Flexible working models enable a good work-life balance at all levels. The new National Collective Labour Agreement (valid 2023–2026) not only increases paternity leave to four weeks, but also provides the option of splitting maternity leave between parents.

In 2023, the proportion of women was 17 % at director level (previous year: 17 %) and 33 % at executive level (previous year: 31 %). The proportion of women in managerial positions was 39 %.

To make further progress in this area, the Migros Group maintains partnerships with external organisations such as Advance, Equal Voice United and Swiss Diversity. It also supports different communities and offers appropriate training.
