What employees say about Fidelity Ireland’s culture and work environment

The culture is very inclusive, collaborative and transparent, super-friendly and rooting for you to succeed. How does that translate into the day-to-day? Answering a question from a coworker while they are on a customer call, catching someone in the hallway to riff on an ad hoc idea or sending a quick message. “Very approachable”, says Stephen, a tax analyst in Brokerage Operations, about the culture at Fidelity Ireland. “Whether it’s senior management or my coworkers, I find that everyone is willing to help”.

At Fidelity Ireland, we know challenges and setbacks are inevitable, which is why we are dedicated to each other. We know that when we support each other, it makes even the tallest mountain seem shorter.

Feeling heard and valued are core facets of psychological safety in the workplace, which can positively affect team innovation, performance, resilience and learning.

At Fidelity Ireland, you can explore new paths and opportunities, whether you want to learn new skills or a new business unit or make a big pivot.

We encourage employees to network and explore the various paths available to them.

“Whether you’re looking to grow your hard skills, like technical expertise, or your soft skills, like presenting and communication, Fidelity offers a wide range of opportunities”, said Johara. “It might be a company offered learning resource, an employee-led community group, or simply colleagues having a chat over a cup of coffee and sharing insights. We end up learning from each other in all sorts of ways, both formally and informally”.

Fidelity Ireland’s market-leading benefits, amenities and associate business resource groups foster a supportive work environment

Whether it’s private health insurance for you and your eligible dependents, fully funded pension plans life assurance and professional tuition support, our benefits go beyond the basics.

Fun events add surprise and delight to an otherwise average workday.

Fidelity Ireland’s associate business resource groups help employees feel connected to one another, adding to that close-knit feel while helping them learn and develop as leaders. These groups give employees exposure to other employees they may not have a chance to work with every day. Groups promote cultural inclusion for all.

Fidelity Ireland’s commitment to innovation creates an inclusive workplace culture

When you’re dedicated to learning and innovation, you’re more likely to welcome new ideas and solutions. That’s why we adopt new technologies and encourage continuous learning and upskilling. “There’s a clear emphasis on creativity, innovation and growth at Fidelity,” said Johara. “Whether it’s about connecting with others and building camaraderie, or developing skills through workshops, working groups or classes, employees are encouraged to grow beyond what they already know—and empowered to bring those new ideas into their day-to-day”.

We don’t just invest in people; we invest in technology too.

Although we know that technology is rapidly changing the financial services industry, we know one element will always remain important—person-to-person relationships. We know technology is simply a tool to help us work smarter, so we can spend less time on mundane tasks and more time on deepening our relationships.
