Investing in Our People

Stifel’s Workforce

Stifel is dedicated to cultivating an environment where exceptional talent thrives and individuals from diverse backgrounds can realize their full potential. We are committed to fostering a culture of support, inclusivity, and continuous learning to nurture our associates' professional growth and loyalty year after year.

At Stifel, we prioritize our associates' well-being by recognizing them as the driving force behind our success. We strive to foster an environment where every Stifel associate views Stifel as their Firm of Choice. One way we achieve this goal is by offering our associates competitive wages and a comprehensive benefits package, including medical, dental, vision, and wellness benefits like mental health counseling and gym memberships. We are also committed to providing our associates with ample opportunities for training, development, and career advancement, such as professional development courses, dedicated management training, and tuition reimbursement.

Beyond providing competitive benefits and fostering professional development, Stifel recognizes the value of a workforce that represents a variety of backgrounds, experiences, and perspectives. We are dedicated to cultivating a diverse and inclusive workforce where individuals from all backgrounds can thrive.

Guided by Stifel’s inclusion philosophy, we are committed to providing equal opportunities in Stifel’s talent pipelines. We do this by ensuring equitable recruitment practices and investing in early financial education programs for students from a variety of diverse backgrounds. Additionally, Stifel is dedicated to celebrating, supporting, and uplifting our diverse workforce. In 2023, we saw significant growth of our Women’s Initiative Network (WIN) and saw Stifel Europe launch its new Diversity Strategy.

Stifel is continually enhancing our benefits options to attract and retain talented individuals by listening to our associates and researching what is available in the market that brings value to them. – Kristen Johnson, Director, Compensation and Benefits
