Project Details
About the project
The Switzerlands Best Employers 2025 ranking was created with the goal of providing recognition for companies who are creating great workplaces.
Using ratings from surveys of over 15,000 employees across the country, along with recommendations generated by the websites of Handelszeitung and PME, a comprehensive evaluation of the best companies to work for in Switzerland was created. In total, 240,000 ratings were used to determine the rankings.
To be considered for the ranking, companies had to have at least 200 employees.
Out of the 1700 companies evaluated, the final list recognizes the top 250 companies to work for in Switzerland, ranked according to our scoring model and grouped into 19 industries.
Scoring
The scoring in our evaluation
To rank the employers, we used a scoring model based on independently collected survey data from employees in Switzerland. This data is divided into several assessment dimensions with different weightings.
Direct score
The direct score was given the heaviest weighting. On a scale of 0 to 10, respondents indicated how likely they were to recommend their own employer to friends or family – with 0 being the least likely and 10 highly likely to recommend.
Indirect score
Respondents indicated the industry they work in. Based on this, each respondent was shown a selection of companies active in the given sector. Respondents could then voluntarily recommend or advise against employers from the list.
METHODOLOGY
How we work
Learn about our general approach to creating employer rankings. Further details about how the ranking was created can be found in the Switzerland’s Best Employers 2025 methodology.
01 Concept
For our employment projects, we evaluate and rank the world’s leading employers, highlighting organizations that excel in fostering positive work environments and sustainable growth. Our rankings help job seekers make informed career choices while providing companies with a benchmark to assess their standing in the global job market.
02 Data Collection
For data collection, our team of analysts creates detailed online questionnaires that ask survey participants about work-related topics. By working with leading online access panels worldwide, suitable participants are identified and surveyed independently of potentially awarded employer brands. Survey responses are then checked for quality and validity (interview length, variances, inconsistencies) and sorted accordingly.
03 Evaluation
To evaluate the data, we apply a scoring model that combines direct feedback on the participants’ own employers with indirect feedback on other employers within their professional fields.
04 Quality Assurance
For each potential award-winning employer, company information is researched and eligibility for the list is confirmed. This step serves as quality assurance and is presented as information in the publication.
Partnership
Our media partner
PME and Handelszeitung are two leading business publications in Switzerland that have joined forces to collaborate on this project. PME, a monthly magazine founded over thirty years ago, focuses on practical business advice for French-speaking professionals and publishes daily content on pme.ch. Handelszeitung, established in 1861, is the country’s premier business newspaper, offering daily news and insights on business, politics, and finance, with its print edition released weekly.
