Our People
To maintain sustainable growth within the company, we want to ensure that our employees’ careers progress.
This entails not only attracting the right talents but also empowering those talents to grow and achieve their development goals. Our employees’ skills and expertise form the foundation of our performance. Therefore, at EY Luxembourg, we seek to develop them in the best possible way, so that they evolve and find meaning in their everyday work.
We do everything we can to make their EY experience last a lifetime, no matter how long they spend with us.
To attract talented individuals with the skills we need, we must ensure that they are familiar with the company and show them everything that we offer to aid their education, development, and fulfilment.
Then, we focus all our efforts on the quality of our career follow-up, thanks to our internal yearly performance evaluation process (LEAD), and on the variety of support and training programs we provide. These cover a very wide range of fields using different media and learning methods, in order to accommodate each individual’s preferred learning style.
Lastly, we take advantage of our size to offer our employees increasingly flexible options in terms of their day-to-day working lives and career paths, so that these accord as much as possible with their personal and professional aspirations.

Focus on Talent Scouting: Our Recruitment Strategy
EY is attractive to potential talent because we offer diverse careers that allow these individuals to develop rapidly. We seek talented people whose skills are suited to our assignments and our development. Therefore, our objectives are to:
- Continue recruiting students from the top business and engineering schools and legal and financial universities
- Broaden our targeting of specialists in digitalization, data, analytics, cybersecurity and digital transformation, who are required to support our clients in their digital transformation projects
- Continue our policy of recruiting BAC +2/+3 graduates specializing in accounting, in order to help them acquire financial skills and enable them to obtain the Accounting and Management Diploma (DCG) and Higher Accounting and Management Diploma (DSCG)
In FY25, EY Luxembourg hosted a dedicated day as part of the ESSCA Summer School focused on Cryptocurrency, Blockchain and Sustainable Finance. The event offered students immersive experience into the world of sustainable finance, covering topics such as ESG, the EU Taxonomy, climate risk, and the regulatory frameworks shaping financial services in Europe. Through interactive sessions and real-world case studies, participants gained insights into how sustainability is embedded into EY’s strategic thinking and client delivery.
This initiative reflects our ongoing commitment to engaging with future professionals, fostering dialogue between academia and industry, and positioning EY Luxembourg as a destination for purpose-driven talent. By opening our doors to the next generation, we aim to inspire careers in sustainability and innovation and strengthen our pipeline of future leaders.
Focus on Talent Development
EY aims to provide the highest quality of service to its clients. This calls for investment, not only in training and developing the skills of our employees, but also in career follow-up so that they can give full rein to their inherent qualities.
Career Flexibility
EY aims to make the EY experience unique for all its employees and to strengthen talent retention. EY has three main aspiration for its employees:
- To develop specialized skills
- To access career paths and a working environment adapted to their needs
- To carry out meaningful work
In response, we offer employees a range of options, all of which are paramount for our Flexible Career Approach.
At EY Luxembourg, our Flexible Career Approach aims to bring together all the measures that allow us to take into account the personal and professional needs and aspirations of EY employees throughout their careers in the most effective manner, so that we can offer them individually tailored progression.
This approach is based on three main pillars:
- Talent support programs, to help employees flourish professionally
- Working time arrangements, so that employees can participate in several active life courses, learn skills or reorient themselves professionally, or devote time to a personal need or project
- Career path flexibility, in terms of roles, service lines or geographical location, in order to facilitate mobility

Celebrating culture and talent
Culture of Compliance Campaign
From March to June 2025, EY Luxembourg ran the Culture of Compliance campaign to inspire and empower employees to embrace our values and uphold the highest standards of ethics and compliance. Each week, a quote from one of our leaders was featured across EY news and TV screens, sharing insights that resonate with our commitment to integrity and excellence. The initiative saw active participation from 15 leaders, including Service Line Leaders, Country Leadership Committee members, and Quality Leaders. The campaign concluded with an interactive quiz, engaging 60 participants and awarding five winners.
EMEIA FSO Awards
EY Luxembourg proudly participated in the EMEIA FSO Awards program, which celebrates the achievements of teams and individuals across the region. This year, the program received over 1,170 nominations, with 236 coming from Luxembourg. We are delighted to announce that EY Luxembourg senior employee was awarded the prestigious Rising Star individual award, recognizing the exceptional leadership, autonomy, and communication skills in delivering high-quality results. Additional finalists from Luxembourg included Inclusion Champions, Sustainability Champions, and Collaboration Champions. These recognitions highlight dedication and talent within our organization.
Additional Highlights
This year, EY Luxembourg celebrated several achievements and milestones among our people:
1. Our Women’s Football Team secured the championship, demonstrating teamwork and commitment both on and off the field.
2. EY Luxembourg participated in the Global EY Young Tax Professional of the Year competition, celebrating the achievements of our talented tax professionals. In the final stage of the local competition, seven finalists were challenged to prepare and present a technically demanding case study before an expert jury. Our Luxembourg winner will advance to the international competition to represent our country.
3. In 2025 we also welcomed 6 new chartered accountants and celebrated leadership appointments in Luxembourg associations, further strengthening our presence and influence in the local professional community. This highly respected qualification is a significant milestone in the professional journey of our people, granting them the authority to practice as certified auditors in Luxembourg.
Employee trust, collaboration and engagement
At EY, we believe that our responsibility as an employer is to ensure the wellbeing of each and every person, regardless of their role and their profile.
To this end, we have therefore implemented a range of measures to create a compassionate work environment, very rich in intellectual and human capital. This is the foundation of our competitiveness and the quality of service we provide for our clients and partners.
By making everyone the focus of our environment, we aim to create a feeling of belonging and the certainty that working at EY is a unique experience. Indeed, our employees want to commit and give the best of themselves and therefore be fully engaged with EY.
Our actions are divided into three main areas:
1. Establishing and keeping a stable feeling of trust among EY employees
2. The wellbeing of our employees at work
3. Creating an inclusive environment for everyone, regardless of their specific circumstances
Even the way in which working areas are designed and organized contributes to our performance, through ergonomic workstations and the creation of a motivating working environment for employees. EY constantly upgrades its PC fleet and redesigns its premises, floor by floor, in order to create more opportunities for collaboration and interactivity among colleagues.
Establishing and maintaining a relationship of trust between employees means that EY employees are expected to listen to one another with respect.
1. Employee exchange schemes: The Counselling Family Trees are mentorship structures that bring employees, ranging from junior to partner level, together every quarter for an informal discussion, to facilitate the flow of information, knowledge and mutual understanding.
2. Team spirit: To foster a compassionate atmosphere at work, we strive to improve our values of integrity, respect and team spirit by training our managers and our teams in collegial decision making and how to build lasting relationships of trust. We are also expanding discussions between sponsors and those sponsored thanks to LEAD, our career development tool.
3. Employee engagement: Each year, EY carries out a worldwide anonymous survey of all its employees and partners: the Global People Survey (GPS). It allows us to gauge our employees’ level of engagement, their degree of satisfaction with quality, people management, ethics, and wellbeing at work, as well as their understanding of the business strategy.
Focus on the well-being of our employees at work
EY's professions are unlikely to lead to workplace accidents; the biggest risk they present is the generation of stress that comes with the nature of our business and being in the client services sector. The well-being of our employees at work is essential to ensure sustainable performance. EY has therefore built its work environment in accordance with this principle, based on the four pillars of health, work environment, work/life balance and team spirit.
Our Community
One of our main targets is to empower people to make sustainable choices and lead by example. Therefore, we are committed to being an upstanding corporate citizen.
At a time when solving social inequity has never been more critical, EY launched its EY Ripples corporate responsibility program worldwide. The program is the signature EY investment in communities, with the goal to positively impact 1 billion lives by 2030. The millions of hours invested by EY people mean we are on track to reach that goal, having impacted more than 192 million lives since its launch in 2018, and having involved more than 168 thousand of participants.
EY Luxembourg launched and promoted this program locally, encouraging its people, since 2021, to start their own ripple effect and create meaningful change locally and worldwide.
1. Supporting the next generation workforce: Help young people build skills to thrive and succeed in a changing world and tackle society's toughest challenges.
2. Working with impact entrepreneurs: Support impact-driven businesses creating jobs, ensuring access, and empowering communities and the environment through protection and restoration.
3. Accelerating environmental sustainability: Support groundbreaking environmental research to accelerate sustainability.
Importantly, the Ripples start with EY people, but it is only through collaboration with our broader ecosystem that we can scale our impact and reach our aspirational number of beneficiaries. This is why, for FY23 EY Luxembourg set specific goals at a local level in terms of number of participants and lives impacted through the EY Ripples program. Since 2023, more than 250 EY Luxembourg employees participated in EY Ripples initiatives including “ “Zooniverse – Penguin Watch EY”, and local initiatives, such as “Academia meets industry” and “Wellbeing for the planet campaign”.
In addition, in FY25 EY Luxembourg actively collaborated with various cultural and medical institutions and NGOs that work with children and families in difficult situations. In FY25, EY Luxembourg donated EUR 43,600, compared to EUR 46,550 in FY24, EUR 65,770 in FY23 and EUR 68,215 in FY22. The donations were directed to the following eight organizations:
Apart from these collaborations, we are consistently creating partnerships with associations and professionals operating across various industries.
Our flagship EY Entrepreneur of the Year (EOY) program, which honors innovators who dare to think outside the box and whose unwavering pursuit of excellence propels good change and sustainable economic growth, is a potent reflection of our mission
An initiative, called EYnovation, helps the startups and scale-ups in their period of fast expansion. Through the initiative, a limited number of rapidly expanding businesses can collaborate with EY and get support for any financial, legal, tax, and strategic challenges they have in their early stages. Promising startups will receive 20 hours of advice to address identified business needs, a dedicated program coach/client manager to support them through their growth journey, strategic workshop sessions with our experts, access to EY's global extensive network to help scale, and further advantages to leverage, upon being selected for our six-month program. Selected start-ups receive this program free of charge, support the Luxembourg government strategy surrounding the startup community, and increase our positive role in society.
Our mission is to foster innovation among scaleups and startups, our corporate clients, and the local and global ecosystem. We encourage our staff to approach startups and emerging technologies with an "enterprising" mindset, given that numerous huge corporations are accustomed to creative ideas and strategies. They take on the "client manager" job early in their careers and pick up abilities that they would not normally pick up as quickly in the office.
