Training & Career Development
In our flexible approach to professional development, we provide tailored career paths and an array of training modules so that our people can grow their skills and increase their employability in a way that suits them. We empower our employees to take responsibility for their training by making online modules available to them via Sia Institute.

Open Dialogue
Open dialogue describes a situation in which all parties are encouraged to share their ideas or feelings freely. Sia Partners aims to create and maintain a safe and open work environment. We pay careful attention to the quality of employee dialogue within the company.
Work-Life Balance

Values
Our culture is centered on 6 core values, which guide all of our actions.
We strive to deliver superior value and tangible results for our clients by leveraging our expertise and empowering our people. We are committed to raising the bar for ourselves and our industry, which is why we recruit top talent and provide the tools and career support they need to thrive and excel. Our commitment to excellence drives our business and has ensured the trust of our clients.
Entrepreneurship is a cornerstone of our firm; the drive to grow has been a constant since our founding. This inspires a working environment that encourages the resourcefulness, risk taking, and tenacity required to transform original and cutting-edge ideas into action. Our entrepreneurial spirit emboldens us to confidently meet the challenges of tomorrow, continuously building legitimacy vis-à-vis our clients and influencing the ecosystems in which we operate.
We are convinced that, in order to deliver superior value to our clients, innovation takes center stage. As a result, our work culture lends itself to anticipation and divergent, outside-the-box thinking, which drives our investment and positioning beyond traditional consulting.
We believe that creating a sense of community is a key to success, that working together enables us to achieve our greatest potential, at once as individuals and as a firm. We therefore aim to cultivate a global culture of sharing: exchanging ideas and resources, sharing in success, and building each other up, across working groups, business units, and geographies.
There is no one-size-fits-all in career development and wellbeing. We value our talent, and believe that individuality and diversity are key to supporting growth. This is why we have rejected the “up and out” model in favor of a more flexible, tailored approach, proposing an array of possible career paths and opportunities for internal engagement. We strive to cultivate an inclusive and supportive environment in which all are encouraged to be their authentic selves and given the flexibility to pursue a meaningful career. By supporting our people in this way, we empower them to explore new ways of thinking, propelling us all forward.
We know that a healthy work-life balance is crucial for wellbeing and productivity, so we strive to instill in our work culture a spirit of collaboration, empathy, and inclusion, while shaping flexible policies and practices that allow for both ambitious career progression and a rich personal life. This includes focusing client assignments on local markets, so that business travel is voluntary. At the end of the day, our goal is to enable our people to find the balance that’s right for them.
Sia Village
An expression of our values, our Sia Village concept describes our commitment to fostering a sense of community within and among our offices. We believe that knowledge sharing is the key, not only to innovation, but to the growth and development of our people. Working together allows us to challenge one another and, as a result, raise the bar in our commitment to excellence, both individually and collectively. The conception of our offices is, therefore, a focal point of the Sia Village. Sia Partners office spaces worldwide follow a cohesive design scheme, intended to facilitate teamwork and encourage community and wellbeing. To cultivate a sense of togetherness between offices, our employees have access to a host of collaborative tools and internal networks, like DEIB @ Sia Partners and BU or sector-related clubs. Outside of the office, corporate events, like our annual seminars, are occasions for our people to connect with colleagues from all over the world, in a context that is unique and memorable.

Firm Culture
“We are an independent alternative to the big fours. Alternative because we often compete with them. Independent because we are not an audit firm or an IT company. Like them, we have a matrix organization (sectors x services) BUT what sets us apart is the ecosystem we have built around our core consulting activities. That ecosystem creates synergies for our consultants to bring more value to our customers. It covers: design agency, design thinking team, huge data science team, start-up studio funding various projects (micro learning on mobile, poll, carbon footprint calculator, etc.).”
Quality of Life
“I think overall the culture is great. Most people are happy to meet and spend time with each other on organised events. It's easy to take time off and management encourages people to go home after 6pm, so very balanced.”
Career Development
"Good promotion opportunities for people, no strict timelines - based on performance."
Community Engagement
"Active mandatory training sessions have been held on unconscious bias and how to identify/overcome those. The firm’s DE&I efforts are reflected in a diverse and multi-cultural workforce. There are also many teams/clubs which champion DE&I causes and are funded to run events."
