GROW | Bayer Switzerland

GROW stands for Growing Representation & Opportunities for Women. Its vision is for women to have equal representation, leadership and recognition at all levels, and for men to champion this equality.

We have an immensely diverse workforce at Bayer Switzerland. To capitalize on the benefits that these differences can bring, we need to build an inclusive culture. Being inclusive will help us improve our business results, boost our talent attraction & retention, increase our productivity, and create an inspiring work environment. The D&I council gives us a framework to develop, implement and align D&I initiatives for the entire Swiss Bayer community.

Peer Coaching
As part of our ongoing Diversity & Inclusion efforts, Bayer Switzerland has launched peer coaching groups as a development opportunity for women at different levels. Through peer coaching, we create platforms whereby business coaches and respected leaders act as mentors, sharing their knowledge and experience and providing support.

Women in Management
The proportion of women in management is reviewed annually. Currently, Bayer Switzerland has 49% women in management.
