Companies that also exceeded the average for this group were awarded the "Very high attractiveness" rating - a total of 122 companies.
How the agency posed the question
The question for the ranking was as follows:
"In the following survey, we would like to record the image or attractiveness of companies as employers. The image describes the mood of the respective company and the attractiveness is the appeal as an employer. Evaluations always vary from individual to individual and depend on the expectations of the observer. Positive and negative associations as well as perceptions and information from others can help shape your overall impression. How would you rate the image or attractiveness of [company X] as an employer?"
The agency used a scale to depict the opinion:
- "excellent" (1)
- "very good" (2)
- "good" (3)
- "mediocre" (4)
- "poor" (5)
Servicevalue Managing Director Claus Dethloff emphasizes that despite its attractiveness for foreign workers, Switzerland must also stand up to national comparison in order to retain the best talent in the long term. According to Dethloff, this requires "employee-friendly working hours, attractive salaries, individual training opportunities and an appreciative corporate culture".
