SEB has been named Mentor Organisation of the Year by Mitt Liv, in recognition of the bank’s long-term and strategic commitment to mentorship and inclusion. The award is given to organisations that actively recruit and support mentors through innovative strategies and successfully integrate mentorship into their inclusion work.
Recruiting for potential is gaining traction as organisations face constant change and evolving skill needs. Unlike traditional recruitment, which prioritises past experiences, this approach focuses on candidates’ future contributions and development. In this interview, Magnus Bolten, DEI Consultant at Mitt Liv, discusses how recruiting for potential can future-proof organisations, its impact on diversity and inclusion, and how recruiters can integrate it into their hiring practices.

Through this partnership, EY joins a growing network of well-known Swiss companies, such as Adecco and ABB, further strengthening its connection to Mitt Liv’s established network of 40 organisations internationally.
Today, we launch our 2024 impact report, highlighting our efforts to promote an inclusive labour market that values diversity.
