BERN: The recruitment agency Randstad, announced the 10 winners of its 2015 best-Swiss-employer awards.
Nine of the top ten were Swiss brands. Only Google, in number 1 position wasn’t. Watch brands were well represented with Patek Philippe, Swatch, Victorinox and Rolex all making the cut. Also well represented were transportation businesses including, Zurich Airport, Swiss, Swissport International, and Stadler Rail. Nestlé and Google were the only non-watch-non-transport brands on the list.
A whopping two thirds of those surveyed would like to work for Google. “Google is in vogue. The company offers highly attractive conditions in areas that Swiss staff consider important”, said Richard Jager, CEO of Randstad Switzerland. The most important factor is work environment followed by salary, job security, type of work and work-life balance.
