Unmasked: Top 10 Employers in Switzerland to Work For in 2025 Unveiled
In a world where top-notch companies reign, they all share a common thread: a dedicated workforce passionate about their product or service. That's according to Handelszeitung, a renowned Swiss publisher, who, along with Statista – a prestigious data gathering platform, compiled a list of employee-adored Swiss companies.
Published on February 12th, the list celebrates the era when employees yearn for a reliable and trustworthy employer, one they can stand by through crises and proudly endorse due to their unique culture.
An extensive survey was conducted among 15,000 Swiss employees spread across more than 1,500 companies with a workforce of at least 200 people. This comprehensive quest for top employers ensured a broad regional and socio-demographic spectrum among the participants.
So, how did Handelszeitung and Statista pull this off? They gathered responses through phone calls and responses culled from various online panels. The overall score was calculated based on employee willingness to recommend their own employer, rated on a scale of 0 – "I would definitely not recommend" to 10 – "I would definitely recommend." Plus, past ratings were factored in to evaluate each company's score.
Drumroll please... The grand slam winner of 2022 is none other than Mobiliar, an insurance company based in Bern. Mobiliar scooped the top spot primarily because of its warm, human, and responsible company culture. The employees themselves attest to the strong sense of solidarity that pervades the company.
Mobiliar's secure, crisis-resilient environment is a magnet for others, too. Even though the insurance industry may not be the most "sexy," it shines in unpredictable times.
Hungry for more? Additional companies that earned high rankings in the list are those with deep Swiss roots and high "Swissness" factor. These include two watchmakers, a mountain railroad, and an iconic beverage. Here are the top 10 employee-loved Swiss companies:
- Mobiliar - Insurance
