Healthy teams thanks to a holistic offer

Many people in Switzerland deal with their health in a risky way, consciously or unconsciously. Swiss Post wants to change this and is committed to ensuring that its employees enjoy equal health opportunities. It does this in a holistic way.

Health - Nutrition - Exercise - Recreation | Every day we make many decisions that have a positive or negative effect on our health. Every year, the "Health Management" team at Swiss Post implements measures to help its more than 60,000 employees make better and "healthier" decisions. They help motivate their people to think about their own behaviour: How do I eat ? How do I move ? How do I recover?

How does Swiss Post support its employees?

Holistic Offer | Simply showing employees healthy behaviors is not enough. A person's lifestyle and living conditions have a major influence on their eating, exercise and relaxation habits. This is why the Health Management team works together with other Swiss Post specialist teams:

  • Social Counselling: Social Counselling helps with information, conflict resolution or coaching on professional or private issues such as stress, mobbing, conflicts in the team, partnership, finance, addiction or violence.
  • Career Centre: The Career Centre supports employees in their professional development and reorientation. This includes, for example, dealing with the current job situation, determining one's position or developing a successful strategy.
  • Case Management: In Case Management, employees are accompanied in the event of acute or impending illness. The aim is to stabilize health preventively or to reintegrate employees who were absent due to illness.
  • Personnel Fund: The Personnel Fund provides financial support for the above measures.
The interaction of all specialist areas is what makes it possible for Swiss Post to make such a holistic and sustainable commitment to the health and performance of its employees throughout Switzerland.

Concrete experience of a balanced diet: Staff restaurants | The catering in the staff restaurant is an ideal place to experience a healthy and sustainable diet directly. Thanks to the commitment of the SV Group, Swiss Post is promoting a balanced diet in line with the requirements of "Fourchette verte". Fourchette verte stands for balanced, healthy and tasty menus.

In the window of 7 December, we saw how closely nutrition and sustainable development are linked. Thanks to the SV Group's "ONE TWO WE" programme, Swiss Post is continuously reducing the environmental impact of its restaurants. More and more products from fair trade are also being added to our range of catering products. The switch to 100% fair coffee in all restaurants has already been successful.

Why does Swiss Post increasingly use Fairtrade products in its staff restaurants?
