I can say with certainty that you don’t have to go undercover when you’re in a Visa office. You are encouraged to bring your full self to work wherever you are each and every day.
Innovation & Strategic Partnership Team
As an innovator at Visa, you’re exposed to some of the most advanced tech in the industry. We’re a global company, but still small enough to make an immediate impact with our own unique ways of thinking, working and living.

Lean In Circles
A leadership program for women developed in partnership with Berkeley’s Haas School of Business targeted for the specific development of senior female leaders to continue their upward growth and trajectory within the organization.
A unique, customized training that enables organizations to advance women in leadership and equip them to take charge of their professional development. The online platform in combination with face-to-face workshops is an effective learning path – demonstrating an increase in participants’ performance ratings.
Worldwide program designed to advance the careers of high performing talent for promotion to senior levels across all our global offices. More than half of the participants in the program are women.
Over 200 global Visa leaders attended our summit in the Asia Pacific region and it resulted in an increased understanding of what it means to be a diverse and inclusive organization, inspiring leaders to create action plans and proactively address areas of opportunity in their regions.
Our Black Leaders Summit is designed to advance Black/African American talent at Visa by providing career advancement strategies, exposure to senior leaders and creating a platform to better recruit, retain and promote Black/African-American leaders at Visa. The Summit has opened the doors to further internal dialogue about key issues and increased engagement from those who now feel they’ve been heard and understood. This is a positive step toward building stronger community connections and it’s reflected in an increase retention rate in this valuable talent pool.
This year, we are in the process of expanding our Black Leaders Summit to a People of Color Summit, which includes all ethnic minority talent globally.
Visa invests in your career development, offering a wide variety of training opportunities, networking and mentorship groups and financial contributions to contribute to your ongoing external education.
We offer structured online and live curriculum at our own Visa University campuses. We support you devoting time to classes and interactive learning with dynamic instructors and executives.
We encourage you to keep learning and help employees pay for educational courses outside of the workplace, up to $5,250 per calendar year.
This robust program focuses on the advancement of new college graduates, offering four business unit rotations over a two-year timeframe and includes mentors, coaches, the potential for international assignments and a two-year tailored curriculum. Over half of the NCG program cohort are women.
We’ve developed a special program to provide opportunities for those who want to return to the workforce after an extended time away, addressing family needs. We offer coaching, personal brand building and extend offers for full-time jobs.
We celebrate the growth of your family unit, however you define it. Birth mothers, fathers, non-birth mothers and adoptive parents receive significant paid time off to enjoy this new phase of life. In the US, we also offer external coaching to assist in preparing for the return to work.
As your parents grow older, unexpected situations occur that require your full attention. We offer paid time off when you need to care for a parent experiencing a significant medical situation or a major life transition, so you can be there.
Together, we use the power of our brand, industry influence and collective voice to positively enact change in the communities we live in – even at the White House. Check out our Corporate Social Responsibility Report here to also learn more about our efforts.
On Women’s Equality Day, we signed the Equal Pay Pledge to affirm our commitment to close the U.S. gender wage gap. We are proud to be among a group of U.S. corporations that have formed Employers for Pay Equity, a private organization that will look at best practices to address the barriers. We’re championing this cause in partnership with the White House, and in parallel examining our own organization to ensure that we are creating the right environment where women can thrive.
We know by building diverse teams, by being focused on how we partner together, by allowing individuals to feel that each of their voices matter in the conversation, that we will achieve the business results that we’re hoping for. And this is where diversity becomes much more than just a program to manage, but a real business initiative that we have to be focused on.
– Jolen Anderson, Chief Diversity Officer
Our Executive Committee is responsible for overseeing our diversity and inclusion efforts together with our CEO and Chief Diversity Officer. At least quarterly, the Committee meets to review, recommend and develop opportunities to enhance our D&I initiatives, model diverse and inclusive behaviors and drive accountability for our program and results.
We want to get at the root causes that make a diverse workplace challenging, including the personal biases we inevitably bring into the workplace. Knowing this is a key issue amongst teams and in leadership circles, we instituted an Unconscious Bias Training program, across Visa globally, to help identify and eliminate hidden stereotypes and biases. This awareness goes a long way in creating an environment in which individual differences are valued and contribute to the success of our business. This year, we are also implementing diversity and inclusive leadership training as part of our Visa University curriculum.
