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 2024, Migros employed people from around 174 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. Offers in the areas of health, work organisation and education for experienced employees are now a key focus of the support and development measures. This includes partnerships with networks such as focus50plus and spurenwechseln. Another focus is on financial literacy and pensions, in particular for women.

In 2024, the proportion of women was 19 % (previous year: 17 %) and at executive level 34 % (previous year: 33 %). The proportion of women in managerial positions was 39 % (previous year: 39 %).

To make further progress in this area, the Migros Group maintains partnerships with external organisations such as Advance, EqualVoice United and Swiss Diversity. It also supports various employee resource groups and offers relevant training.
