  • Leadership

  • Wellbeing

  • Comment from the judges

    I tremendously enjoyed reading the call-out that you ‘ inspire all our employees to be leaders and take an active role in shaping the future of the organization, whether on the business or people side’ – well done, I soooo wish more companies would intentionally decouple leadership from hierarchy!

  • Comment from the judges

    There is some great work being done across EX with the likes of SwiftSmart and with such a high volume of staff the communications function is working well. A lot of great ideas across different functions and divisions with a clear passion to put its PeopleFirst.

  • Comment from the judges

    Swift’s compelling purpose, centered on transforming cross-border payments and empowering the global financial community, serves as a powerful foundation for their inclusive, collaborative, and innovative culture. Swift’s response illustrates how this larger mission can be seen in every aspect of the employee experience, from leadership philosophy and communication approaches to wellbeing initiatives and social impact efforts.
