At Charles Schwab, we believe in providing our female employees with opportunities to develop their careers and help create an environment where women encounter the support and guidance they need to thrive.
Here are some of the programs and initiatives at our firm designed to empower women’s success in the financial industry:
Female-focused career development programs: Through programs like Career Path Chats and Executive Chats, women leaders and role models share their insights into the range of careers available at Schwab, provide guidance for building a successful career, and inspire employees to explore different career-building opportunities.
Employee Resource Groups that promote financial literacy and representation for women: Our Women’s Interactive Network (WINS) Employee Resource Group was created to promote leadership, career development, financial health, and representation for women in finance. Since its formation, WINS has also piloted transformative initiatives like the new Financial Life Planning Month for Women, which focuses on implementing inclusive practices that serve female investors.
Recruitment of women into the financial services industry: Charles Schwab leaders often host site visits for young students to help expose them to Schwab's mission, values, and culture, as well as communicate the many opportunities we provide to people of all backgrounds in the financial services industry.
Building relationships that support women in our communities: As a part of our commitment to serve our communities, local WINS chapters often partner with non-profits like Dress for Success and Girl Scouts of the U.S.A. to host events that promote the financial wellness of women.
Charles Schwab was founded on the idea that everyone should have the opportunity to own their future – and that principle still guides our firm today. As an industry innovator recognized for excellence in service, our clients trust us to provide the guidance needed to help them reach their unique financial goals. Working at Schwab means joining a team where everyone is empowered to build a diverse, rewarding career. We succeed together through our inclusive, collaborative culture that’s focused on one common goal: to make a difference in the lives of the people we serve.
